“Imran Khan chose him due to his [Ali Amin Gandapur] other responsibilities as KP chief minister,” said the party’s secretary general.
Akbar expressed gratitude for his appointment as PTI KP president in a statement he issued on X.
“I am a middle-class person and I got this position because of hard work. Which is not found in other parties,” he wrote.
