Abbasi, a former civil service trainee, has been an active and supporter of the PTI and its chairman Imran Khan. He joined the party late last year and was spotted on many of the party’s sit-ins held last year to overthrow the incumbent Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz government.
The party's Karachi President Ali Zaidi took to his Twitter account to announce that the actor will take on the role of PTI Karachi's Secretary Culture and posted a picture of the formal letter.

So as long as you are someone popular and agree with IK you are bound to get some position in PTI
@ Chachoo Our democracy is not mature that an ordinary person can win election, as per now
Interesting bit is that Hamza's mother is a member of National Assembly on the ticket of PPP and her name is Begum Nasim Akhtar Chaudhry and his father was the Major of Pakistan Army. The circle of Politics is like that. Son is in PTI, mother is in PPPP and and other members of his family are in PMLN. Many senior members of PTI infact have very strategic families as well. Asad Umer is in PTI while his family members are in PMLN while he is the son of One Retired General of Pakistan as well.
If someone thinks that Ordinary people are coming into Politics then they are living in a fools world. Same families but different faces are ruling us for a longer time now.
He has youth on his side...but lacks maturity.
