PTI increases efforts to appoint new opposition leader

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has increased efforts to replace the current Leader of Opposition Khursheed Shah — with none other than PTI’s own, Shah Mehmood Qureshi, according to reports.

According to details, PTI might want to replace Shah with Qureshi as the opposition leader before the General Elections 2018.

PTI has even approached Muttahida Quami Movement-Pakistan for this purpose, according to some media reports; however, MQM-P will get to a decision after holding detailed discussions with its party leaders.

The PTI, in its message, said that something in this regard could be done if all political parties unite against the Pakistan People’s Party.

The PTI currently holds 27 seats in the National Assembly whereas the MQM-Q has 22.
