PESHAWAR: Ali Amin Gandapur, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister-in-waiting, has decided not to join the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC), as he will run for the top provincial post in an independent capacity, with PTI members included in the SIC voting for him, according to The News on Monday.
