As Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan dissolved the ruling party's organisational structure, many workers of Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) have strongly reacted. The workers have expressed concern over the appointment of federal ministers as new party officials. This comes as the party had to go through a major defeat in the first phase of local body polls, which were recently held in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of the country. PTI won less than 10 chairperson or mayor posts of the 39 seats it had contested on during the polls.
After dissolving all the structures of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf, Prime Minister Imran Khan has announced the new organisation of the ruling party, according to Federal Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry. In a tweet on Saturday, he revealed that Federal Planning Minister Asad Umar will be the new secretary-general of the party. Amir Mahmood Kayani has been nominated as the additional secretary-general. Meanwhile, these leaders will head PTI in their respective provinces.
