he has failed to nominate provincial office-bearers of his party so far.
Owing to lack of strong organizational structure at the centre and provincial levels, the party could not attract people. The central leader of APML, Barrister Saif, at a presser, had assigned duties to some people about one year ago to organise the party in the province but no practical step had been taken since then.

wished to join APML, but owing to delay in nomination of its provincial office-bears they avoided joining it.
Advocate Moazam Butt, who joined the party few months ago, was assigned the duty of its provincial front man but now he has formed a separate party 'Qayum League' and is carrying out activities from the new platform.

Moazam Butt had no association with the party and a suitable person would be made front man very soon, he added. "We are looking for committed people to be inducted in the provincial cabinet," he said and added that Mr Musharraf had promised to make him provincial president of the party.

He said that they were in contact with different political parties including PTI for electoral alliance in the next general elections. He said that his leader was ready to face all kinds of cases and he would arrive in January despite all problems.
