Pervez Khattak, a prominent politician and former leader of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI), has officially launched his own political party called Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Parliamentarian (PTIP). The party was unveiled on Monday, marking a significant development in the political landscape of Pakistan.
A total of 57 members from both the provincial and national assemblies have joined PTIP to show their support for Pervez Khattak’s leadership. Some notable members who have joined the party include Ishtiaq Armar, Ziaullah Bangash, Ghazan Jamal, Agha Gandapur, Ahtesham Javed, Akbar, Ahmed Hussain Shah, Falak Naz, Ibrahim Khattak, Asiyah Asad, Malik Javed, and Arbab Waseem.

Pervez Khattak, who previously served as the chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and as the federal defense minister from 2018 to 2022, was expelled from PTI due to allegations of encouraging lawmakers to leave the party. Since then, he has been engaged in discussions with his former party colleagues and has been working towards organizing a significant event to showcase his new party.
