Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder has proposed Mahmood Khan Achakzai as the opposition leader in the National Assembly, according to party sources.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a recent meeting with Advocate Ali Bukhari, the PTI founder suggested Achakzai\u2019s name, saying he would be suitable under the current political circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is pertinent to note that the final decision would be made by the party\u2019s political committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Senate, the PTI founder advised reviewing the names of Azam Swati and Ali Zafar, noting that Swati, being a senior figure, would be appropriate, sources added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
