PTI likely to field relatives of top leaders in KP by-polls
[DAWN] The ruling Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations.... is following in the footsteps of other mainstream political parties in terms of dynastic politics as its top leaders from Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa are likely to secure party tickets for their relatives to contest the upcoming by-elections for provincial assembly. Family members of at least three senior PTI leaders have almost succeeded in securing party tickets for by-polls on seats vacated by them after the July 25 elections. Defence minister Pervez Khattak, National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser and former KP minister Ali Amin Gandapur had vacated their provincial assembly seats and joined the NA.
