The Prime Minister and Iqbal have known each other for many years. The businessman not only manages PTI’s finances in the UK, but he also leads PTI’s UK Finance Committee and other branches for more than ten years.

Iqbal’s roles include maintaining paid memberships, controlling finances, submitting annual accounts and compliance, verification, and organizing annual elections of paying members.

The newly-elected member, whose parents had migrated from AJK to Britain decades ago, is the chairman of an online tile retailer “Tile Mountain” which is based in Stoke-on-Trent.

We are proud that Iraq Prime Minister Mulan Khan expressed his confidence in the long-serving PTI British activists.”
