Parvez Elahi appointed as PTI president

Chaudhry Parvez Elahi has been appointed as the party president by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Tuesday.

Weeks after being recruited with the promise of the position. “Ch Pervez Illahi is hereby, designated as President [of the] Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf,” a notification available with Geo News and signed by PTI Chairman Imran Khan read. Elahi thanked the PTI leader for the appointment and remarked, “No one has respected me like Imran Khan, and we all have to work together to strengthen him. Late last month, the former Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) leader and 10 other former MPAs of his party announced their joining the Imran Khan-led party.

Khan and Pervaiz Elahi enjoy close ties as the former Punjab chief minister vowed to stand by the ex-prime minister and ensured they remained in power in Punjab — the major hub of the country’s politics.
