ECP reserves judgment in PTI intra-party election case

ISLAMABAD (APP) - A four-member bench of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), led by Sindh Member Nisar Durrani, has reserved its judgment in the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) intra-party election case.

Barrister Gohar, the counsel for the PTI, requested leniency, stating that the commission has the authority to disregard the matter.

The commission had provided PTI with a two-week period until August 30 to present their arguments in the intra-party election case.

ECP Member Nisar Durrani emphasized that the case should not linger for too long. The Election Commission has already assigned election symbols to the majority of political parties for the forthcoming general elections.

Once the arguments conclude, a decision will be made regarding the allocation of election symbols to the PTI. The ECP had summoned the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) bigwigs for not conducting intra-party elections on August 4.

Sources divulged that the electoral watchdog had sent a notice to the party for not holding the intra-party elections. The ECP had issued a notice in the name of the PTI chief. The ECP had summoned the PTI leadership at 10am on Friday.
