ISLAMABAD: The life of a party spokesperson may be enriched by the glare of media attention but within the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) it presents a unique challenge: you are one WhatsApp message away from Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Those from within the party entrusted informally with the responsibility of pushing the government’s narrative form a semi-official group of spokespersons who have a regular debriefing session with the prime minister on a fairly regular basis. Most of them are not notified as official spokespersons for the government or the party.
