Senior politician and Azad Kashmir cabinet member Mir Akbar Khan has left the PML-N to join the PTI. This has come as a setback for the ruling party in AJK.
Mir Akbar Khan is an important member of AJK Prime Minister Raja Farooq Haider’s cabinet. He was nominated for the LA-16 Bagh-3 (Sharqi Bagh) seat for the upcoming elections by the PML-N.
The politician met PTI’s Chief Organizer Saifullah Niazi today and announced that he will be joining the PTI.
