Author: Web Desk

PESHAWAR: Ghazanfar Bilour, a key member of the Bilour family and son of Senator Ilyas Bilour has left the Awami National Party (ANP) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province and joined the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf PTI.

However, it was after five decades of continuous affiliation with the ANP that a member of the Bilour family has quit the ranks of the party.

“Ghazanfar Bilour is the political heir of the Bilour family and is the nephew of Bashir Ahmed Bilour and Ghulam Ahmed Bilour,” they said and added that Ghazanfar has also remained head of Sarhad Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The joining was announced after he met with Chief Minister Mahmod Khan in a meeting that was also attended by Taimur Khan Jhagra and Kamran Bangash.

Meanwhile, sources within ANP while commenting on the matter said that Ghazanfar Bilour has no political background and him joining PTI ranks will have no impact on their party.
