ISLAMABAD – Seasoned politician and member of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz, Zafar Ali Shah is poised to join Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, in another blow to the embattled former ruling party.
Zafar is expected to join the ‘Tsunami’ on Thursday as PTI supremo Imran Khan is expected to visit his house for a formal announcement in this regard.
Shah has been a vocal worker of PML-N for years, however, after the Panama Papers controversy he struck a cautious note in favouring his party, asking the former premier Nawaz Sharif to explain his position and resign in the wake of allegations.
Reportedly, Ali Shah is the father-in-law of PTI chief’s close friend Zulfi Bukhari, who has been appointed as in-charge of the election campaign for the NA-53 seat (Islamabad).
Zafra Ali Shah is also contesting the upcoming elections for the said constituency, however, he might withdraw in favour of Imran Khan, if the rumours regarding his inclusion in PTI are proven true in days to come.
