The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has set the stage for a crucial hearing pertaining to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's (PTI) intra-party elections.
A significant development emerged as the cause list for the PTI intra-party case was unveiled by the Commission, scheduling the hearing for December 18.
A distinguished 5-member bench, led by the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC), is slated to preside over the proceedings, with PTI's legal representative Barrister Ali Zafar presenting the concluding arguments.
Notices have been officially dispatched by the electoral watchdog to PTI’s Chief Election Commissioner and the Party Chairman, indicating the seriousness and focus directed towards addressing the concerns surrounding the intra-party electoral process.
Simultaneously, another noteworthy case involving the alleged disparagement of the ECP is also on the Commission's docket. This separate case implicates high-profile figures, including Imran Khan and Fawad Chaudhry, and is scheduled for hearing on December 19. The hearing is set to take place at Adiala Jail.
These impending hearings underscore the gravity of the issues at hand, marking critical junctures in Pakistan's political landscape.
The Election Commission's deliberations and subsequent decisions are poised to shape the trajectory of PTI's internal elections and address the allegations regarding contempt against the commission itself. The outcomes of these hearings could potentially wield significant implications for the country's political sphere.
