The leader of the PTI party has announced a peaceful protest to raise awareness about alleged electoral irregularities, specifically the theft of 80 seats, which the party claims has resulted in a fake mandate. The PTI won 180 seats, and they believe no one has the right to form a government with a fake mandate. The leader emphasized that the protest will be peaceful, and he requested that there should be no arrests.
Addressing concerns over power-sharing arrangements, the PTI leader confirmed that they will not engage in any such agreements with the PPP, PML-N, and MQM parties. The PTI leader further reiterated their commitment to public service-oriented politics rather than pursuing power-sharing arrangements.
Additionally, the PTI leader affirmed that Omar Ayub will be the party’s candidate for the prime ministerial position. He also denied any alliance with the Pervez Khattak-led PTI-P.
