Islamabad
\nPTI leader Omer Ayub on Tuesday said party founder Imran Khan had nominated Amir Dogar for the position of National Assembly speaker while Junaid Khan was picked for the slot of deputy speaker.
\nThe announcement was made after Ayub and other party leaders held a string of meetings with the imprisoned PTI chief at Adiala Jail.
\nDogar served as the chief whip in the NA during the PTI government. He also served as the special assistant to the prime minister on political affairs during Imran\u2019s tenure. Dogar was also among the several PTI leaders who were arrested in the aftermath of the May 9 riots.
\nDogar won the February 8 general elections from Multan\u2019s NA-149 constituency. He has been once again appointed as the PTI chief whip in the lower house of the Parliament.
\nMeanwhile, Junaid Khan \u2014 Imran\u2019s nominee for the NA deputy speaker \u2014 had emerged victorious in the polls from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa\u2019s Malakand district.
\nIn his media talk today, Ayub stated that Junaid was one of the oldest members of the PTI and had proved his allegiance with the party despite a myriad of challenges.
\n\u201cGod willing, the PTI will form governments,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
