The country’s supreme election body issued a response to an application filed by Pakistan Tehereek-e-Insaf’s Barrister Gohar Khan that he could not be recognised as the party’s chairman at present.
The ECP also said a decision cannot be rendered owing to the stay order placed on the intra-party polls and joined that senators joining PTI are also contingent upon that very case.
Gohar confirmed that he had received the ECP’s response and has decided to file a case with regard to this matter in the court. “The Election Commission of Pakistan has not accepted our intra-party election nor handed over a certificate,” he added.
When our Senate elections were held, people not affiliated with any party joined PTI,” he said while talking about the scenario after the Senate elections.
On January 13, 2024, a three-member SC bench upheld the ECP’s December 22, 2023, order declaring the PTI’s intra-party polls null and void.
Later, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) candidates had to contest the February 8, 2024, general elections as independents.
