Former PML-N leader Miftah Ismail has officially announced the formation of a new political party, putting an end to months of speculation. In an op-ed published in The News and a post on X, Miftah revealed plans for a party that prioritizes ideas over personalities and aims to address Pakistan’s governance failures.
The new party, yet to be named, will focus on including women and young people in leadership roles, setting term limits for party leaders, and avoiding dynastic politics that plague traditional parties. Miftah believes that Pakistan needs a fresh vision led by individuals with integrity, competence, and a commitment to solving long-standing issues.
With a background in public finance and experience working for the International Monetary Fund, Miftah is positioning his new party as a solution to the country’s leadership crisis. By emphasizing the importance of younger leaders and a people-centric approach, Miftah aims to offer a new direction for Pakistan’s future.
