A recent Senate arrangement by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has stirred unrest within the party, exposing growing internal divisions over its political strategy and alliances.

A recent political move by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has sparked growing unrest within its ranks. The party’s controversial Senate arrangement has drawn sharp criticism from several members, who claim the decision was made without proper consultation and compromises the party’s founding values.

The agreement, seen as a strategic attempt to maintain influence in the upper house, was reportedly made with the backing of some unexpected allies. However, this has not sat well with a number of PTI leaders and supporters, who believe the decision reflects a shift away from the party’s original promises of transparency, accountability, and reform-driven politics.

Several senior PTI figures have expressed their disappointment in private and public forums. They argue that the deal undermines the party’s credibility, especially as PTI continues to position itself as a champion of clean governance and institutional integrity. Critics inside the party have pointed out that such political compromises may damage PTI’s standing among its core supporters, many of whom were drawn to the party because of its tough stance against traditional power politics.
