Formation and ideology
editPTI-N was formed due to differences within PTI. Like many members of the past, Dar alleged that the PTI, founded in the name of justice, has become a turncoat party by inducting politicians from other parties.[2]
Recent events
editIn January 2024, in a surprising turn of events, the PTI accused its breakaway group, the PTI-N, of reneging on an agreement under which PTI candidates would be fielded by the PTI-N. It was allowed to contest the election on the election symbol. Subsequently, Akhtar Iqbal Dar, the chairman of PTI-N, alleged that the PTI candidates had presented “fake” nomination papers to the returning officers.[4]
Controversies
editThe PTI-N was accused of reneging on an agreement that allowed PTI candidates to contest elections under the PTI-N banner.[5][6]
