World ( The cow news digital ) Internal differences within Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have intensified after the resignation of a senior party office-bearer from his position as provincial joint secretary, highlighting growing organizational tensions within the party.
According to details, Engineer Khista Muhammad stepped down from his party post, citing serious disagreements with the provincial leadership and concerns over internal decision-making processes. He stated that his resignation was a result of what he described as an increasingly centralized and unilateral style of leadership within the party structure.
Khista Muhammad alleged that important organizational and policy decisions were being made without proper consultation with the party cabinet. He claimed that several key appointments, including those related to the Malakand region, were issued without formal approval or collective discussion within the party’s decision-making bodies.
He further stated that such practices undermine the spirit of internal democracy and render the party cabinet ineffective. According to him, if decisions continue to be made by a single individual, then the existence of collective leadership structures becomes meaningless.
The former joint secretary also expressed concern over the current state of affairs regarding party founder Imran Khan, stating that no serious or structured efforts appear to be underway for his release. He claimed that despite nearly three years of what he described as unjust imprisonment, the party leadership has not presented a clear or effective strategy.
He added that party members who believe in the original ideological framework of PTI expect decisions to be made collectively rather than by individual authority. The resignation, he said, was a protest against what he termed an authoritarian approach within the provincial setup.
The development reflects ongoing internal challenges within PTI’s provincial structure in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where differences over governance style and decision-making authority have increasingly come to the surface in recent months.
Political observers note that such resignations may signal deeper organizational friction as the party navigates both internal restructuring and external political pressures. However, official party leadership has not yet issued a formal response to the resignation.
The situation continues to evolve as party workers and leadership grapple with questions of internal unity, authority distribution, and future political strategy in the province.
