F.P. Report

PESHAWAR: Former Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and senior leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Shah Farman on Saturday announced his withdrawal from electoral politics.

In a video statement, the former Governor said that there is a conspiracy against him within the party, and he will hand over his constituency to party workers.

He further mentioned that none of his family members will participate in the elections.

Shah Farman revealed that baseless allegations of betrayal were imposed on him including two other leaders during a core committee meeting.

He clarified that the core committee accused him, Shaukat Yousafzai, and Faisal Salim, even though Yousafzai and Salim are not members of the core committee.
Shah Farman highlighted that some leaders focused on personal gains and financial accumulation after coming into power, despite the hard work of party workers to achieve governance.

In his recorded statement, Shah Farman refrained from naming individuals but indicated that money laundering occurred during the government’s tenure, involving prominent leaders who were also implicated in the alleged conspiracy against him.

He expressed his intention to expose such leaders and emphasized that everyone is aware of who accumulated how much wealth, even going as far as purchasing houses in Europe and the UK.

Shah Farman clarified that politics is not his family’s profession, nor is it their source of income. Hence, he is leaving his constituency vacant for party workers.

He also emphasized that his brothers and children have no intention of contesting elections.

Former Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Shah Farman called upon PTI leaders to vacate their constituencies for party workers. (APP)
