Khanzada had supported Humayun Khan for the office of provincial president of the party.They said after the intra-party polls, the grouping continued and the rival groups started creating hurdles for Khanzada Khan. The sources said due to differences in the PPP, the party did not allot ticket to his son Zeeshan Khanzada, which disappointed his family members.
