History

The pre-existing tensions between Tareen and Imran Khan, the chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, combined with the May 9 riots, ultimately resulted in numerous politicians resigning from the PTI and the subsequent formation of the new political party.

Around one hundred leaders from all around Pakistan attended a dinner organized by Aleem Khan, where it was revealed that the Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party had been formed.[3] The party's leader, Jahangir Tareen, spoke about his goals on the occasion, to "fulfill the teachings of Quaid-e-Azam", ending political and social divisions, and bringing political and economic reforms.[4][5][6]

On 18 July 2023, the IPP submitted an application for party registration with the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP). For the party's electoral symbol, they sought an eagle.[7]

On 5 October 2023, the ECP accepted the application and issued a notification of the IPP's registration.[8] On 26 October, the party was allotted the eagle as their electoral symbol.[9]

On 12 February 2024, Jahangir Tareen resigned from the party after losing in General Election 2024.

Organization

On 12 June 2023, Tareen had announced Aleem Khan as the first President of the IPP, Aamir Mehmood Kiani as the first Secretary-General, and Aun Chaudhry as the Additional Secretary-General and Spokesperson.[10] Due to Tareen's disqualification by the courts, he is unable to hold any official post in the IPP, but he is regarded as the "patron-in-chief" of the party.[11]
