The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party plans to stage rallies at several locations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province May 26. Supporters will gather in Swabi from 10:00 before heading in a convoy to Mardan, Charsadda, Shabqadar, Peshawar, Taru Jabba, Pabbi, and Nowshera. The convoy will then return to Swami. Hundreds to thousands of people could participate in the action.
Authorities will likely monitor any gatherings that materialize and may disperse overly disruptive crowds. Localized transport disruptions are probable, especially if demonstrators march along or block roadways. Officials may implement enhanced measures, such as roadblocks and pedestrian checks, as a precaution. Clashes between police and activists, as well as between supporters of rival camps, are possible. Localized business disruptions may occur near larger protest venues.
Avoid all protests as a precaution. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Allow additional travel time near gathering sites. Plan accordingly for potential localized business disruptions. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
