Story summary

Supporters of jailed former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan began a "long march" toward the capital city of Islamabad on October 4, 2026, after talks between his party PTI and the government failed to resolve their standoff. The march started in Lakki Marwat, located in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, with around 5,000 people participating. Led by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi, the convoy traveled through several cities including Karak and reached Peshawar on October 8. Despite government concerns and a temporary suspension of mobile services in parts of Peshawar as security measures, the march continued for its fifth day with PTI officials predicting it would become the largest long march in Pakistan's history by the time it reaches Swabi. The government remains steadfast in its refusal to allow the marchers into Islamabad, raising tensions ahead of their planned arrival in the capital.
