ISLAMABAD: A member of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has filed petition against Intra-party elections of the party in the election commission.
The application has been filed by Raja Tahir Nawaz, a resident of Islamabad and a PTI member, in the Election Commission of Pakistan today.
Petitioner pleaded that the PTI’s constitution was not followed in intra-party elections. “A dummy panel was floated to conduct the party elections,” according to the plea.
“The responsibility was upon the party’s secretary general to hold intra-party elections,” he said.
The party member has sought the election commission’s order to declare recently held party elections and the secretary general directed to conduct re-election of the party.
Azizuddin Kakakhel Advocate filed petition in the ECP on behalf of Raja Tahir Nawaz. It is to be mentioned here that the PTI’s founding member Akbar S Babar had termed the intra-party elections as drama.
In a video statement he said that the PTI has put the party and the election symbol of ‘bat’ on stake.
He suggested constitution of an intra-party election commission, setting aside the election. Akbar S Babar demanded running the PTI organization according to the party’s constitution.
In a press conference earlier, Akbar S Babar had declared the party election as fraud saying that he had reservations about the intra-party election. –Agencies
