Islamabad: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar has stated that despite a full year passing since conducting intra-party elections, PTI has yet to receive its certification. He criticized the Election Commission for failing to fulfill its constitutional responsibility.
Speaking to the media outside the Election Commission in Islamabad, Barrister Gohar mentioned that the commission has also withheld the decision regarding reserved seats.
He further stated that the Election Commission appears unable to fulfill its constitutional duties, emphasizing that PTI has the right to reserved seats. He added that other parties that conducted intra-party elections after PTI have already received their certificates, but PTI remains uncertified. He also pointed out that the Supreme Court had ruled in PTI’s favor regarding the reserved seats.
Notably, on February 10, Barrister Gohar admitted that PTI’s communication with the establishment had ceased, stating that only one contact had taken place. He suggested that a political solution should have been found through careful and wise decision-making.
