Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman, Barrister Gohar said on Friday that his party will not boycott the presidential election in any case no matter who the candidate wins, democracy should not be defeated.
Speaking to media outside the Parliament, he stressed the importance of adhering to constitutional requirements, particularly regarding the Electoral College, before proceeding with the election. After it is completed, there will be presidential elections.
Expressing dissatisfaction with the Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) decision regarding reserved seats, particularly for women and minorities, Barrister Gohar said that that these seats rightfully belong to his party.
On the other hand, the National Assembly session chaired by Speaker Ayaz Sadiq, PTI leader Umer Ayub raised concerns about the validity of the members' oath-taking process.
He said that the oath administered was unconstitutional, citing a Peshawar High Court ruling. Ayub also criticized the Jail Superintendent at Adiala for denying him a meeting despite a court order, highlighting issues of legality and adherence to constitutional principles.
