Imran Khan's party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), announces a reversal in its decision, revealing that independent candidates backed by the party in the February 8 elections will now align with the Sunni Ittehad Council. Initially slated to join Shia and Sunni parties, this shift follows a formal agreement with the Sunni Ittehad Council. PTI Secretary General Omar Ayub Khan emphasizes that the decision aims to secure reserved seats, potentially strengthening PTI's position in the National Assembly. The move adds complexity to the political landscape amid post-election alliances by rival parties in Pakistan.
