May 9 Violence Triggers Mass Exodus of PTI Leaders from Imran Niazi's Party

Following the arrest of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Niazi in the Al-Qadir Trust case on May 9, violent protests erupted across the country, leading to a significant number of PTI leaders severing ties with the party.

Some attributed the attacks on military installations to Khan's policies. Here is a breakdown of the PTI leaders who have parted ways with Imran Khan, categorized by province:
