Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has voiced its intention to challenge the Election Commission of Pakistan\u2019s (ECP) decision, nullifying the intra-party elections, by taking the matter to the Lahore High Court (LHC). Barrister Gohar, the party\u2019s recently elected chairman, led the charge, his words echoing with defiance and a touch of indignation. \u201cWe will fight for a free election,\u201d 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\u2019s standing within the party is not well established. He underscored PTI\u2019s transparency, asserting that no other political entity has faced such stringent scrutiny. Expressing hope for the High Court’s intervention, Gohar emphasized PTI\u2019s non-acceptance of the ECP\u2019s 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\u2019s ruling annulling the intra-party election, Gohar\u2019s chairmanship and the party\u2019s symbol were revoked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
