Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has submitted a comprehensive response to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), addressing the objections raised regarding the party's intra-party elections.
Chief Election Commissioner Rauf Hasan submitted the response on behalf of PTI, clarifying that the party has held intra-party elections on June 9, 2022, and November 23, 2023, and that the talk of not holding such elections is baseless.
The party’s response asserts that claims of not conducting intra-party elections are unfounded. The party emphasized its dynamic nature and refutes any suggestion that its organizational structure has lapsed.
Furthermore, PTI's reply underscores that the party's general body meeting, attended by members from all provinces and the federation, was held on January 31, 2024. It clarifies that intra-party elections were conducted for the third time on March 3, 2024, in accordance with the Election Act.
Regarding the appointment of the Chief Organizer, PTI asserts that it was done lawfully by the General Body Meeting, emphasizing the competency of the body involved in the appointments.
The party clarified that documents for party registration are submitted once to the Election Commission, and emphasized that no action can be taken against a political party listed under Section 202.
Furthermore, PTI claims to have submitted extensive documentation totaling 1365 pages, including details of the scrutiny of nomination papers.
Despite the Election Commission's scrutiny, PTI asserts that no flaws were identified in their submitted documents.
The party urged the ECP to recognize the intra-party elections and issue the party certificate, as no flaws have been identified in the submitted papers.
