PTI's march entered its sixth day on 9 October, with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi leading participants from Peshawar towards Charsadda. Pakistan Today reported that the campaign continued to demand the release of jailed former prime minister Imran Khan.
The march began on 4 October and had remained within Khyber Pakhtunkhwa at the time of the report. Its itinerary had changed, and the destination beyond the planned Swabi stage was still uncertain.
Afridi told participants the march would continue beyond Swabi, where it was expected on 11 October. Federal officials had warned against taking it outside the province. The reported plans should not be read as confirmation that the march has reached Islamabad or that a final onward route has been agreed.
