It was an honor and privilege to serve as President PTI Punjab and I thank Chairman Imran Khan for the opportunity. It is time for change due to my surgery and convalescence. I congratulate the new President and will serve the party in whatever capacity assigned, Shafqat Mahmood tweeted.

On the other hand, there are reports that Imran Khan had asked Shafqat Mahmood to resign as he was displeased with the mismanagement at the Azadi March. Imran Khan was also, allegedly, disappointed as PTI Punjab failed to put on a strong power show forcing him to call off the Azadi March.
