Prime Minister’s YouTube channel renamed to just ‘Imran Khan’

What happened: On March 25, the Prime Minister’s Office’s official YouTube channel changed its name to just ‘Imran Khan.’ The action comes just days before the National Assembly votes on Prime Minister Imran Khan’s no-confidence motion. Details: The verified tick of a channel is altered when it gets renamed, according to YouTube guidelines. The channel features the prime minister’s speeches as well as all of his actions as Pakistan’s prime minister. It was established a year after Imran Khan was elected Prime Minister of Pakistan. Imran Ghazali, the General Manager of the Government of Pakistan’s Digital Media Wing, ‘only controls’ the Prime Minister’s Office’s Twitter and Facebook pages, but not the YouTube channel. What else: The channel’s “about” section indicates that it was launched in 2019, but if it is managed by the ruling party’s social media team, it raises the question of why party activists were running an official account for the country’s highest office. Prime Minister Imran Khan’s Digital Media Focal Person, Dr. Arsalan Khalid, told a digital magazine that he spoke with PTI’s social media director Jibran Ilyas, who informed him that the channel’s name had only been altered, not the URL.
