Jahangir Khan Tareen resigns from IPP leadership, quits ‘politics altogether’

Jahangir Khan Tareen, the patron-in-chief of the Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party, declared his resignation from the party's leadership and stated his decision to "step away from politics entirely" on Monday.

Expressing gratitude to all those who backed him during his tenure, he conveyed his congratulations to his competitors in a statement released on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“I have immense respect for the will of the people of Pakistan.”

He expressed his gratitude to every IPP member, wishing them “the absolute best.”

“By the Grace of Allah, I will continue to serve my country to the best of my ability in a private capacity.”

He hoped that Pakistan would prosper in the upcoming years.

The development comes days after Tareen, who founded the IPP party last year, lost the election with his party performing poorly.

IPP was officially launched in Lahore last year, and Tareen promised to contest elections across the country.
