LAHORE: Former Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader and ex-Member of the National Assembly (MNA) Mahmood Moulvi has been appointed the president of Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (PPP) Sindh chapter, ARY News reported on Friday.

IPP Secretary Aamer Mehmood Kiani issued a notification regarding the appointment of Mahmood Moulvi as the party’s Sindh president.

The notification was issued after the consultation of IPP Patron in chief Jahangir Tareen and President Aleem Khan.

In May, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MNA from Karachi Mahmood Moulvi had announced parting ways with the party.

The MNA had announced that he is resigning from the PTI in light of the attacks on military installations during violent protests on May 9 in the country after the arrest of the PTI chairman.

On Wednesday, Moulvi said he will decide about joining Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (PPP) founded by Jahangir Tareen after ‘istikhara’ prayers.
