Imran Khan Becomes Patron-in-Chief of PTI
- Imran Khan, the jailed founder of PTI, has declared himself patron-in-chief ahead of a planned nationwide protest in 2025.
- This decision follows internal party rifts and legal restrictions preventing Khan from becoming party chairman, aiming to consolidate his leadership.
- The leader of PTI confirmed that Imran Khan will direct the protest efforts from jail while maintaining his leadership position, with responsibilities for the demonstrations shifting from Ali Amin Gandapur to other party members.
- Khan called on supporters via his official X account to prepare for demonstrations to reclaim PTI's 'stolen mandate' and challenge the PML-N-led government soon.
- The move signals Khan's continued control over PTI's strategic direction amid ongoing party infighting and keeps open dialogue with the establishment as an option.
