ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has asked party leaders Pervez Khattak and Asad Qaiser to vacate their provincial assembly seats, to strengthen its position at the federal level.
The decision was made by a meeting of the senior party leadership, presided over by PTI chief Imran Khan on Saturday. The participants also mulled over nominations for deputy speaker National Assembly and the same in the provinces.
Pervaiz Khattak, the former Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, will reportedly be appointed as an interior ministry in the upcoming PTI government steered by Imran Khan.
