5. Naz Baloch
Naz Baloch, initially a member of PPP, later joined PTI, and subsequently returned to PPP. It’s worth noting that she departed from PTI during a period of its peak popularity, not during a time of adversity.
Naz Baloch was useless – good that she has left.

6. Firdaus Ashiq Awan
She was made to leave her duty as minister for Information on instructions of Bushra Bibi and then mocked and body shamed for her overweight as she left the party.
7. Palwasha Abbasi
She was removed from the position of Deputy General Secretary women wing for not participating in the 9 May incident.
8. Samana Malaika Raza
Malaika Raza resigned from PTI due to its fundamentalist policies and after recognizing the lack of promising political opportunities for youth and women within the party.
9. Ayesha Ijaz Khan
As she departed, she pondered on Imran Khan’s refusal to support the Women Protection Bill in 2006, questioning whether a politician’s voting record truly reflects their beliefs more accurately than mere rhetoric. The bill aimed to aid women who had suffered rape but were imprisoned due to the flawed Hudood Ordinance, which failed to distinguish between rape and adultery.
She criticized the party’s tendency to glorify Imran’s personality over its principles, noting the focus on “Join Imran” rather than “Join PTI.”
10. Uzma Kardar
As prestigious as her former name, her character (read: kardar, her surname) was assassinated. But she left PTI in prime time as Aleema Khan’s (Imran Khan’s baji’s) Sewing Machine scandal was blown out by Uzma Kardar to a TV anchor Mansoor Ali Khan. She was further marginalized following the leakage of an audio recording in which she commented on Bushra Bibi’s role.
