Shafqat Mehmood steps down from post after PTI's dismal performance

E-Paper | June 09, 2026

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) leader Shafqat Mehmood stepped down from the post of party organiser in Lahore for what he called the party's poor performance in the local government polls.

Mehmood posted a message on the social media saying, “it is my moral duty to accept responsibility for this (party’s) poor performance.”

The PTI’s leader acknowledged that PTI performed much worse than the expectations during the recently held local body polls in Lahore on October 31.

The party workers and organisers did their best but the best was not good enough, he maintained.

The first phase of local body elections was held on Saturday.

The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz and the Pakistan Peoples Party looked set to emerge as the leading groups in Punjab and Sindh respectively according to the unofficial results received so far.

Voters tried to make the most of a much-awaited opportunity to elect their representatives at the grassroots.

Although polling in most areas was by and large peaceful, Khairpur saw deadly violence when supporters of PPP and PML-F fought a gunbattle which claimed 11 lives.

The only people see about PTI is that it constantly talks about dharna, and that it's way too comfortable with the idea of military coups. People haven't forgotten that this party which speaks of democracy has a big army following, and requested army to depose a democratically elected prime minister.

What Imran needs to do now is first clear his Reham issue as soon as possible and then re-organize his patty on all levels. Stop bashing nawaz and do some work in kpk. No one likes when pti use abusive language against their opponents and it gives away negative impression of the party.

@AQ Is there ideology at provincial or federal level? If so, can you please advise. I am not sure we know what the ideology of any party is in Pakistan - except perhaps the MQM (separate country for Mohajirs), or the JI (Islamicise everything). All the rest of them are just personal fiefdoms of their leaders; be it PPP, PML-N or PTI. Putting aside the vote-rigging argument for a second - which may or may not be valid, the real question is how will PTI make lives better for the ordinary citizen. People keep talking about KPK - that is pretty irrelevant. It is just like saying look at what Nationalists are doing in Scotland, but when you yourself are based in Wales. A policy that might work in one province like KPK, may not easily lend it itself to a province like Punjab - and the PTI need to adapt accordingly for each area. The SNP swiped the slate in Scotland in May, but in England they would get destroyed. Perhaps if PTI got rid of some lotas from Punjab for a start?
