Disgruntled PML-N leader Zafar Ali Shah says that he will be joining the PTI in presence of party chairman Imran Khan — most likely today.

Shah's relations with the PML-N turned sour during the local bodies election in November 2015 in Islamabad as he wanted to become mayor of Islamabad and contested from a Union Council.

But some of the PML-N leaders supported an independent candidate, who won the election instead and then joined the party.

Shah tells Dawn:

I am a politician and have to do politics. My friends suggested me to join PTI and I agreed.
