Aleem Khan has been selected to lead the IPP, and Tareen has already announced Kiyani as Secretary General and Awn Chaudhary as the party’s spokesman, but he promises more news soon.
Aleem Khan, a longtime member of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has been nominated to lead the Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP), a new political organization based in LAHORE.
Jahangir Khan Tareen, a prominent politician, publicly announced the IPP’s foundation earlier this month. The party’s stated mission is to promote economic and social reforms in Pakistan.
Over a hundred PTI defectors and deserters have joined the new party after its announcement by Tareen, a former close ally of the PTI Chairman who fell out of favor in subsequent years. The announcement was made during a news conference in Lahore.
The party was launched, Tareen stated, to realize “the teachings of Quaid-i-Azam and the dreams of Allama Iqbal.” Former PTI leaders Aleem Khan, Ali Zaidi, Imran Ismail, Tanveer Ilyas, and others were there.
Today, Tareen tweeted the news that Aleem Khan will be taking over as party president.
Abdul Aleem Khan has been elected as President of the Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party. Secretary General Aamir Mehmood Kiyani. Awn Chaudhary has been appointed to the position of Additional Secretary General and Spokesperson for both the Party and the Patron-in-Chief.
When asked who would lead the IPP, he stated, “I am pleased to announce Abdul Aleem Khan as the President of the IPP,” and went on to name Aamir Mehmood Kiyani as the party’s Secretary General and Awn Chaudhary as the party’s Additional Secretary General and Spokesperson and the Patron-in-Chief’s Spokesperson.
The next round of announcements is imminent.
Before the May 9 riots, Aleem Khan had applauded Tareen’s move to launch a new party, noting that the situation had become exceedingly chaotic.
He had given credit to Tareen for organizing the group into a single party. He stated that the group had been working together on the same platform for the previous 12 years. “But alas, those ambitions were never realized,” he sighed.
