In another notification, the party announced the appointment of Firdous Shamim Naqvi, Senator Saif Ullah Abro, Qasim Khan Suri and Mushtaq Ahmad Ghani as central vice presidents.

On Saturday, the former ruling party held its intra-party elections on the instructions of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and elected Barrister Gohar Ali Khan as the party's new chairman.

The new party chairman was elected unopposed after being recently nominated for the post by ex-PTI chief Imran Khan.

The chief election commissioner of intra-party elections, Niaziullah Niazi, announced the results from a polling station in Peshawar. He said all candidates were elected unanimously in the intra-party polls.

On November 23, the ECP nullified PTI's intra-party elections conducted in June of the previous year, deeming them "highly objectionable".
