Pervez Khattak and Mehmood Khan reportedly held meetings with key figures in Islamabad, indicating potential shifts in party dynamics.

PTI (P) chairman Pervez Khattak resigned, handing over the reins to Mehmood Khan, a move viewed significantly within KP’s political circles.

Confirming these developments, Ziaullah Khan Bangash, PTI Parliamentarian’s Central Information Secretary, acknowledged ongoing discussions between the two parties at the legal level, exploring options for independent MPs to join PTI (P).

If legal experts find common ground, leaders from both parties will engage in further discussions. Additionally, it’s revealed that Pervez Khattak’s resignation from party roles is due to health reasons.
