ISLAMABAD: In a twist of events, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan has announced that he has not accepted the resignation of Omar Ayub on the direction of party founder chairman and directed him to continue as the party’s Secretary General (SG).

PTI’s Parliamentary Party and Core Committee through unanimous resolutions had recently recommended to Imran Khan and Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan not to accept Omar Ayub’s resignation, who is also the leader of opposition in the National Assembly.

“Omar Ayub Khan resigned as PTI Secretary General on June 27, 2024. However, the parliamentary party as well as core committee through separate resolutions reposed trust in him and commended his services and requested him to continue as PTI secretary general,” says a notification issued by Gohar.

Gohar said in the notification that Imran Khan appreciated his services and acknowledged his sacrifices for the party. Accordingly, on the instructions of PTI founding chairman, the resignation of Omar Ayub Khan is not accepted. He shall continue as secretary general, and we all hope the party will benefit from his experience and leadership.
