ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - The Election Commision of Pakistan (ECP) has rejected the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) four miscellaneous pleas in the intra-party election case.
The ECP has also issued the 10-page verdict written by ECP Sindh Member Nisar Durrani.
The PTI reservations on the ECP jurisdiction had been rejected in the intra-party case.
The request for postponement of intra-party elections in certain seats until the decision of the commission was also rejected.
The PTI request for PTI’s pending cases had also been dismissed.
The ECP directed PTI to move to court for the return of documents taken from the FIA to the party office.
As per written judgment, the commission was responsible to review the legal requirements for intra-party elections under Section 208 of the Election Act, 2017.
ECP DECISION IS UNFAIR
Responding to the ECP decision which rejected all pleas of PTI in intra-party election, Barrister Gohar insisted that they hadn’t yet presented any arguments on the application and rejection of their pleas by ECP was wrong. PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar insisted that “Rejection of our pleas is unfair, ECP decision is mean.”
He also asserted that staging public gathering was their fundamental right and wouldn’t cancel it. The PTI chairman stressed that they would hold peaceful public gatherings for the release of Imran Khan and wouldn’t harm anyone or disturb law and order.
