ISLAMABAD: Pak­istan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) founding chairman Imran Khan has appointed four more focal persons of the party.

With the addition of four more people to the party, the total number of focal persons has reached seven.

Earlier, there were three focal persons:

PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, Sher Afzal Marwat and Umair Khan Niazi.

The four new focal persons are Senator Shibli Faraz, Opposition Leader in National Assembly Omar Ayub Khan, Senator Ali Zafar and lawyer Intezar Hussain Panjotha.

A few days ago, rumours were going around that Mr Khan had removed Mr Marwat from the list of focal persons. However, Mr Marwat scotched these rumours on the same day.

According to the PTI’s media wing, no focal person has been removed and instead four more focal persons have been nominated, raising the total number of focal persons to seven.

Meanwhile, PTI’s Cen­tral Information Secretary Raoof Hasan told Dawn on Thursday he met PTI founder Imran Khan in Adiala Jail and found him in high spirits.

“Imran Khan was in high spirits and he has announced that the PTI will launch a massive protest campaign after Eidul Fitr. We want to start a protest campaign against poll fraud, with the support of our coalition partners and the next date of protest will be announced at a public meeting in Pishin on April 12,” he said.
