A spokesman of the party said that the intra-party elections of PTI were postponed following Panama leaks.

He said that chairman PTI had appointed Shah Mehmood Qureshi as vice chairman, and Jahangir Tareen as secretary general - the position which the duo had held in the past. The PTI was all set to hold intra-party election but had to postpone it in wake of panama controversy, which according to PTI insiders was done to focus on public mobilisation campaigns across the country, as it believed the government might go for early elections.
