In a recent development, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has approved a new name for the Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), replacing Sher Afzal Marwat. Sources reveal that Umar Ayub and Shibli Faraz convened a meeting of the political committee to address the matter of Sher Afzal Marwat’s removal from the position. During the committee meeting, a vote was conducted to withdraw Sher Afzal Marwat’s nomination.
According to insider information, prominent PTI members including Asad Qaiser, Shehryar Afridi, Shandana Gulzar, and Zulfi Bukhari advocated for Sher Afzal Marwat to retain his position as the Chairman of PAC. However, Umar Ayub and Shibli Faraz proposed the name of Waqas Akram as a replacement for Sher Afzal Marwat, which was ultimately approved by the PTI political committee.
The decision to replace Sher Afzal Marwat with Waqas Akram as the Chairman of PAC will be communicated to PTI founder Imran Khan by the political committee. It is noteworthy that Imran Khan himself had recommended Sher Afzal Marwat for the position of Chairman PAC.
The nomination of Sher Afzal Marwat for the chairmanship of PTI was announced two days ago by Barrister Gohar Ali on behalf of Imran Khan. However, the recent decision by the PTI political committee reflects a shift in leadership dynamics within the party.
Reacting to the decision, Sher Afzal Marwat expressed disappointment, stating that he was neither invited to the political committee meeting nor consulted regarding the matter. His exclusion from the decision-making process has raised concerns about transparency and internal communication within the PTI leadership.
Earlier, Sher Afzal Marwat had made statements alleging that certain PTI members had lobbied Imran Khan against appointing him as the Chairman of PAC. This controversy surrounding his nomination has underscored the internal rifts and power struggles within the party.
The decision to replace Sher Afzal Marwat with Waqas Akram highlights the complexities and challenges of political maneuvering within PTI. As the party navigates through internal disputes and leadership transitions, it faces the daunting task of maintaining unity and cohesion amidst divergent interests and ambitions.
Moving forward, the appointment of Waqas Akram as the new Chairman of PAC signals a new chapter in PTI’s leadership dynamics. The party will need to ensure effective communication and transparency in its decision-making processes to address concerns and maintain the trust of its members and supporters.
The PTI political committee’s decision to replace Sher Afzal Marwat with Waqas Akram as the Chairman of PAC reflects a significant development in the party’s internal affairs. As PTI grapples with internal disputes and leadership transitions, it must strive to uphold democratic principles and foster unity among its ranks to navigate through challenges effectively.
