Salman Akram Raja Resigns as PTI Secretary-General

• Resignation Announcement: Senior lawyer and politician Salman Akram Raja stepped down as Secretary-General of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) today. He had been appointed to the position on September 7, 2024.

Reason for Exit

• • In a social media statement, Raja cited “irreconcilable differences” over his responsibilities within the party.
  • He referred to an incident on August 25, 2025, which he said forced him to make a “decisive decision.”
  • He emphasized he could not compromise on his “intellectual and financial integrity.”
  • Raja had earlier requested PTI founder Imran Khan to relieve him of the post, but the request was initially turned down.

 Despite leaving the administrative position, Raja confirmed he will continue to provide pro bono legal representation for PTI in ongoing cases.

Impact on PTI Politics

• Internal Tensions: His resignation follows other withdrawals, such as Hammad Azhar’s exit from a by-election, signaling growing strain within PTI’s leadership.
• Legal Strategy: While Raja will still fight PTI’s legal cases, stepping down from Secretary-General may hinder coordination between legal and political teams.
• Leadership Vacuum: The exit underlines organizational struggles within PTI as it faces sustained political and legal pressures.
• Public Perception: The departure of a respected lawyer may raise questions about unity and stability inside the party.
