PTI Leader Blames Sohail Afridi for Long March Failure, Sources Say

October 18, 2026 • 2 hours ago •

ISLAMABAD: A senior leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has reportedly attributed the failure of the recent long march to Sohail Afridi, raising questions about leadership accountability within the party.

Sources indicate that during an internal meeting, the PTI leader expressed concerns over Afridi’s strategic decisions, which were perceived as detrimental to the march’s objectives. The long march, aimed at mobilizing public support for the party’s agenda, fell short of its anticipated turnout, leading to significant criticism from within the ranks.

This incident highlights the ongoing challenges faced by the PTI as it navigates a politically charged environment. The failure of the long march not only reflects internal discord but also poses implications for the party’s future strategies and public perception. Analysts suggest that the party must reassess its approach to mobilization to regain momentum.

Looking ahead, PTI is expected to convene a series of meetings to address the leadership issues and strategize for upcoming political engagements. The party’s ability to unify its leadership and effectively communicate its vision will be crucial in the coming months.
