Jahangir Tareen, a disillusioned leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI), is poised to form a new political party in a significant move.
The announcement is a setback for the PTI, which has already lost numerous high-profile members in recent weeks.
According to sources close to the situation, Jahangir Khan Tareen will take over as the party’s patron-in-chief, with numerous major PTI dissidents, including Aleem Khan, joining his ranks.
According to reports, Mr Tareen and his like-minded companions have begun preliminary planning, and a party secretariat has been created in Lahore.
