Akbar S Babar, founding member of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has decided to challenge the intra-party election. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Sunday announced results of intra-party elections. According to the results, Barrister Gohar was elected PTI chairman unopposed, Omar Ayub Khan, secretary-general, unopposed, incarcerated, Yasmin Rashid, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Punjab president, unopposed and Ali Amin Gandapur as PTI KP chapter president unopposed. Reacting to the outcome of the PTI intra-party election, Akbar S Babar termed it a \u2018fraud\u2019 and announced to challenge it in the Election Commission of Pakistan. \u201cI will challenge the PTI\u2019s intra-party elections in ECP on March 5 (tomorrow).\u201d Babar said only 940 people voted in the election which is only 0.11 of the party\u2019s strength.
