Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has voiced its intention to challenge the Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) decision, nullifying the intra-party elections, by taking the matter to the Lahore High Court (LHC).
Barrister Gohar, the party’s recently elected chairman, led the charge, his words echoing with defiance and a touch of indignation. “We will fight for a free election,” he declared, accusing the electoral watchdog of a pre-meditated conspiracy against PTI.
Questioning the credibility of Akbar S. Babar, whose petition was central to the Commission's decision, Gohar emphasized that Babar’s standing within the party is not well established. He underscored PTI’s transparency, asserting that no other political entity has faced such stringent scrutiny.
Expressing hope for the High Court's intervention, Gohar emphasized PTI’s non-acceptance of the ECP’s decision. He clarified that their party did not engage in the election contest, stating that he was elected uncontested as the PTI Chairman, with the nomination endorsed by Imran Khan himself. However, following the Commission’s ruling annulling the intra-party election, Gohar’s chairmanship and the party’s symbol were revoked.
