Imran Khan orders expulsion of Sher Afzal Marwat from PTI

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder and former prime minister Imran Khan has directed party leaders to expel Member of the National Assembly (MNA) Sher Afzal Marwat from party, The Express News reported on Wednesday.

PTI leadership has decided to revoke Marwat’s basic membership following complaints from senior leaders regarding his conduct at a recent rally in Swabi.

Imran Khan has reportedly instructed key party figures to proceed with Marwat’s expulsion, and a formal notification is expected soon. Additionally, the party is set to demand his resignation from the National Assembly.

The decision follows internal dissatisfaction with Marwat’s actions during the Swabi gathering, prompting multiple complaints to Imran Khan from party members.

PTI is expected to make an official announcement on the expulsion soon.

Last month, PTI had issued a show cause notice to Sher Afzal Marwat for violating party discipline.

In a notice, the PTI leadership reprimanded party leader Sher Afzal Marwat, known for his fiery oratory, for making statements contrary to the party’s official position.

Additionally, Marwat was prohibited from representing the party in the media until he submitted a response to the show-cause notice. The show cause notice was issued by PTI’s Additional Secretary General, Firdous Shamim Naqvi.

The notification, issued under the direction of PTI Chairman Imran Khan, stated that Sher Afzal Marwat had previously violated party policy and made statements without careful consideration. He has been given seven days to submit his response.
