Former first lady launches new party to challenge dynastic politics.
On July 15, British-Pakistani journalist Reham Khan announced the formation of the Pakistan Republic Party at Karachi Press Club. Positioned as a voice for ordinary Pakistanis, the party vows to fight dynastic rule and push for clean governance and justice .
Reham’s roots in media (BBC, Pakistani TV) and celebrity status—she’s a former wife of ex-PM Imran Khan—give her instant visibility. She promised policies on healthcare access, clean water, and electoral fairness .
Her timing taps into frustration over legacy parties and systemic corruption. With a manifesto due soon, analysts wonder if she can translate momentum into a viable third‑way alternative .
As Reham builds her organizational base, Pakistan’s political landscape looks set for further fragmentation—and a test of public appetite for reform.
