Former MNA joins PTI

Former MNA Sardar Mansab Ali Dogar of Pakistan Muslim League-N has joined Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. The announcement was made during a meeting with Chairman Tehreek-e-Insaf Imran Khan at Zaman Park Lahore, where Imran Khan presented a party scarf to Sardar Mansab Ali Dogar.

Former District Nazim Pakpattan Rao Naseem Hashim Khan and Rao Umar Hashim Khan were also present at the meeting.

Sardar Mansab Ali Dogar has been associated with the Muslim League for over 30 years and has served as a member of both the National Assembly and provincial assembly. He was also federal parliamentary secretary of defence.

Sardar Mansab Dogar was known for his loyalty and was a faithful companion of former PM Nawaz Sharif.

During the 2018 elections, the PML-N issued him the National and Provincial Assembly ticket, but later withdrew the National Assembly ticket from him and gave it to Mian Ahmad Raza Manika. As a result, Sardar Mansab Ali Dogar returned the provincial assembly ticket.
