Will PTI and the federal government hold a formal round of talks before 30 September 2026?

PTI launched a nationwide protest movement on 5 August for Imran Khan's release and has announced a long march on Islamabad for 27 September. Formal negotiations between PTI and the government collapsed in early 2025 and have not been convened since. Both sides periodically say they remain open to talking, but no round has actually been held. Resolves: 30 September 2026 • Source: Dawn, Geo News and Express Tribune reporting Rule: Resolves YES if a PTI negotiating committee and a government negotiating committee actually meet at least once on or before 30 September 2026, reported by at least two of Dawn, Geo News and The Express Tribune. Statements of willingness, the naming of a committee without a meeting, contacts reported only by unnamed officials, chance encounters or exchanges inside Parliament, and talks with the military establishment rather than the federal government do not count.
