All three of these politicians held important posts in PTI before they switched camps. In 2016, PTI appointed Aleem Khan as President of the party’s central Punjab chapter. Amir Mahmood Kiyani, an old confidant of PTI Chairman Imran Khan, was the federal minister of National Health Services, Regulation and Coordination. Auwn Chaudhary, another figure thought to be a very close aide of Imran Khan’s, previously served as Chief Coordinator to the Chief Minister of former Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar.
