Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan said on Tuesday that his party will stage "peaceful protests" on May 9.
Speaking to media in Rawalpindi, Khan said: "Today, Sher Afzal Marwat was stopped from meeting with the PTI founder. Talks were held with the PTI founder on legal and political matters."
Khan said: "We hope that 78 of our snatched seats will be returned. The former Rawalpindi commissioner had also mentioned the rigging in the elections."
"The PTI founder had also been apprised of the meeting with the United States ambassador. We have informed the US envoy about the human rights' violations in the country," he said.
"We would like to request the Supreme Court (SC) to hear our petition in line with the judicial commission," Khan added.

Few days back, Khan said that his party is the most popular party among the masses.
Expressing his thoughts during the National Assembly session, Khan said: "Our people have been picked up, and our party symbol was snatched. The police are taking action against illegally."

– Gohar Ali Khan surprised over by-poll results –
Separately, Khan said on Tuesday that the party founder was surprised by the results of the by-elections held on April 21.
Expressing his thoughts in Rawalpindi, Khan asserted: "The boxes were already filed in Punjab during the by-polls. The by-poll results were pre-planned. It is the masses' right to ensure the fair counting of the votes."
"We condemn the drama that was staged under the guise of the elections," Khan said.
Speaking about the negotiations, Khan said: "The negotiations are not going to take place with anybody else. We will inform you if there is any message about dialogue."
