Islamabad, July 6

Pakistan’s former PM Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Saturday formally launched a new political party, Awaam Pakistan Party, to “change the system and restore respect for the Constitution of the country”.

Party officials said its main slogan was “Badlien gaen nizam” (we will change the system) and its membership was open to anyone who can contribute for the development of the country.

Abbasi, 65, had served as PM from August 2017 to May 2018 when the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif was disqualified by the Supreme Court. Abbasi later distanced himself from the PML-N due to policy disagreements after 2018.
