Ehtesab Party

Removes chairman

LAHORE: Pakistan Ehtesab Party on Friday sacked its chairman Amjad Ali Rana after the executive body passed a no-confidence resolution against him.

According to a party announcement, Vice Chairman Shahid Najam has been elevated as the new chairman.

"Amjad has been removed from the post because of his lack of interest in party affairs and failure to attend party meetings", said Mohammad Babar Rana, a senior party member who chaired the emergency meeting.

The meeting also welcomed the visit of US President to Pakistan.ÑAPP
