He was a member of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) from 2018 to 2022. As a dissident PTI member, he had stated that he would vote against his party's chairman, prime minister Imran Khan, in the no-confidence motion against him. However, Noor Alam Khan did not have to vote, as the opposition Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) managed to gather enough votes by itself to oust prime minister Imran Khan on 10 April 2022.[1] Noor Alam Khan was a member of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) from 2008 to 2018.
