The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has initiated preparations for its long-pending intra-party elections, aiming to fulfil the Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) directive by completing the process before December 13.
Sources within PTI revealed the decision to kickstart the intra-party election proceedings this week, adhering to the ECP’s order.
However, the party’s incarcerated chief, Imran Khan, won’t participate in the elections due to ongoing legal constraints, making his participation unfeasible.
Barrister Ali Zafar, PTI’s parliamentary leader in the Senate, said the ECP had earlier declared the party’s intra-party election null and void due to technicalities.
“To avoid any discrepancies with the ECP, another leader may temporarily stand in for the PTI Chairman during this election,” he said.
