Also on the list are nominated National Assembly opposition leader Mahmood Khan Achakzai, former opposition leader Omar Ayub, former Senate opposition leader Shibli Faraz, Punjab Assembly opposition leader Moin Qureshi, and former Punjab opposition leader Malik Ahmed Khan Bachhar.
Representatives from the party’s organisational and outreach wings were included as well: Overseas Chapter Secretary Sajjad Burki; Punjab chief organisers Alia Hamza, Junaid Akbar, Haleem Adil, and Dawood Kakar; former National Assembly speaker Asad Qaiser; NA chief whip Amir Dogar; Senate coordinator Fauzia Arshad; Women’s Wing President Kanwal Shauzab; and Minority Wing President Lal Chand Malhi.
The notification describes the political committee as PTI’s top decision-making forum, responsible for shaping major party decisions, formulating policy, and issuing guidelines for PTI’s parliamentary groups in the National Assembly, Senate, and provincial assemblies.
While Gandapur is absent from the new lineup, the party said the roster is not fixed and members may be added or removed over time, according to The Express Tribune. The announcement was carried by the ANI news feed.
