Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan has said that Tehreek-e-Tahaffuz-e-Ayeen-e-Pakistan chief Mahmood Khan Achakzai will be notified as opposition leader in the National Assembly by Thursday.
Speaking to a media representative in the National Assembly on Tuesday, Barrister Gohar said that the nomination papers of Achakzai — who is also the Pakhtunkhwa Milli Awami Party (PkMAP) chairman — have been submitted, and verification is expected to be completed by tomorrow (Wednesday).
He said that so far, only one nomination has been made.
Speaking on the party's internal matters, Barrister Gohar said that there is no forward bloc within the PTI, reaffirming that Imran Khan will always be the party's chief.
"Khan Sahib was, he is, and will be the PTI chairman," he asserted. Barrister Gohar said that no political decision or apex committee can alter "Khan Sahib's decision."
