PTI was founded on April 25, 1996 in Lahore. PTI won its first seat during the 2002 Elections when Imran Khan won the National Assemly seat of Mianwali. PTI boycotted the 2008 elections due to the principal stance against corruption and in 2013, we received 7.5 million votes, second highest votes in the elections. We made the Government in Kyhber Pakhtunkhuwa and our focus there has been on the common man. Even our worst rivals give us credit for making Police independent to faciliate Justice for all, revamping the public schools system which has seen 34,000+ private school kids switching to government schools, changing the health policies to ensure we take care of the people in need, and making a significant reduction in corruption.
The iconic moment for PTI was the mammoth Jalsa on October 30, 2011 at Minar-e-Pakistan, where people from all demographics, especially Youth and Females showed up in huge numbers to show Imran Khan that they are with him to fight the status quo of Pakistan. Shortly after, the Karachi Jalsa of December 2011 confirmed that this movement has changed Pakistan forever as the Youth of the country started to take ownership of the country and their resolve for change in Pakistan was rock solid. This is surely a movement comparable to Jinnah’s movement for Pakistan. Imran Khan calls it the struggle for Naya Pakistan.
