Shah Mehmood Qureshi, the Vice Chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), is likely to lead the party in the absence of Imran Khan.
Qureshi, who is a popular and experienced politician, is seen as the most likely candidate to lead the PTI in Khan’s absence. He has the support of the PTI’s core leadership and is seen as a unifying figure.
However, Qureshi will face a number of challenges if he does become the party’s leader. The PTI is currently in opposition and is struggling to make an impact. It is also facing a number of internal divisions.
In addition, the PTI is facing a strong challenge from the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), the current ruling party.
Qureshi will have to find a way to unite the PTI and defeat the opposition if he wants to lead the party to victory in the next general elections.
“Shah Mehmood Qureshi will lead the PTI minus Imran Khan,” an official source said. “He is the most likely option, acceptable to those who matter, to lead the PTI in the absence of the former.”
Qureshi has not yet commented on the possibility of leading the PTI. However, he has said that he is committed to the party and to its ideology.
“I will continue to fight for the PTI and for the betterment of Pakistan,” Qureshi said. “I believe that the PTI is the only party that can bring about real change in Pakistan.”
Only time will tell whether Qureshi will be able to lead the PTI to victory in the next general elections. However, he is a popular and experienced politician who has the support of the PTI’s core leadership. He is also seen as a unifying figure, which could be important in uniting the PTI and defeating the PML-N
