Senator Mustafa Nawaz Khokar confirmed that he will not be joining a political party for the time being and presented his resignation to Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani on Thursday.
He tweeted, “Alhamdulillah, I have formally submitted my resignation today. I’m thankful for the positive response & support across party lines which were far beyond my imagination.”
The senator stated that he will not be joining any political party in response to speculation about his political future.
The PPP veteran had already declared this week that he will formally resign from the Senate when it became clear that the party was not pleased with his political stance.
Khokhar said that his party PPP wants him to resign for raising his voice against such mischief.
Since the beginning of the administration, Khokhar, who left his position as Bilawal Bhutto’s spokesperson in December 2020, has been critical of the leadership. In April, he held off on becoming a state minister as well.
Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar has been vocal against leaked “dirty videos” of his 75-year-old senate colleague Azam Swati.
He said that as a political worker, I cherish my right to express my opinions on matters of public interest.
