Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Nazriati (PTI-N) is a splinter group of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). It was created by Akhtar Iqbal Dar in 2012 after a disagreement with Imran Khan, one of the founders of PTI.[2][3]

Formation and ideology[edit]

PTI-N was formed due to differences within PTI. Like many members of the past, Dar alleged that the PTI, founded in the name of justice, has become a turncoat party by inducting politicians from other parties.[2]

Recent events[edit]

In January 2024, in a surprising turn of events, the PTI accused its breakaway group, the PTI-N, of reneging on an agreement under which PTI candidates would be fielded by the PTI-N. It was allowed to contest the election on the election symbol. Subsequently, Akhtar Iqbal Dar, the chairman of PTI-N, alleged that the PTI candidates had presented “fake” nomination papers to the returning officers.[4]

Controversies[edit]

The PTI-N was accused of reneging on an agreement that allowed PTI candidates to contest elections under the PTI-N banner.[5][6]
