Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ali Amin Gandapur is leading a massive convoy for a power show by PTI in Lahore. After a hiatus of more than one year, PTI is all set to hold a public rally in Lahore in the absence of party chairman and founder Imran Khan.
PTI leaders from across Punjab and Lahore have started reaching the venue with their convoys. Ali Amin Gandapur is leading party convoys from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. CM KPK left Peshawar at 11:00 am.
In preparation for the rally, PTI workers armed with sticks were ready to face any obstacles during the journey. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister shared photos of these workers in a WhatsApp group. Videos of charged-up party supporters, workers, and volunteers leading rallies towards the venue are circulating on social media.
A container was also prepared for the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister and transported to the Peshawar Motorway Toll Plaza, with two additional containers for other party leaders.
