The intra-party elections of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) have been challenged in the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) by two different petitioners.
Petitioners Mahmood Khan and Muhammad Muzamil have filed separate petitions urging the election commission to declare the PTI's intra-party elections null and void.
In their petitions, Mahmood Khan and Muhammad Muzamil have emphasized the need to nullify the intra-party elections of the PTI, citing concerns over the legitimacy and fairness of the electoral process.
They have requested the commission to intervene and take necessary actions to address the alleged irregularities and discrepancies observed during the elections.

Furthermore, the petitioners have demanded the respondents halt the utilization of the PTI's platform until the matter is resolved, and the electoral process is deemed transparent and credible.
The Election Commission is expected to review the petitions and conduct an investigation into the allegations raised by Mahmood Khan and Muhammad Muzamil regarding the PTI's intra-party elections. The outcome of this investigation will determine the future course of action regarding the legitimacy of the PTI's electoral process.
On February 29, Barrister Gohar Ali Khan was elected as the chairman of the PTI unopposed once again in the intra-party elections.
Meanwhile, Omar Ayub clinched the position of the central secretary general unopposed, while Dr Yasmin Rashid secured the presidency of Punjab without facing any opposition. The intra-party polls were scheduled for March 3, however, since no other applications were received against Khan, Ayub and Rashid until the deadline, they were declared winners unopposed.
