Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan on Monday expressed reservations over the election process.
Speaking to media in Islamabad, Khan asserted: “The PTI candidates have been stopped from taking part in the election process.”
He took a jibe at the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), saying, “The primary responsibility of the electoral watchdog is to hold transparent elections. The ECP has not managed to fulfil its responsibility.”
Few days back, the PTI had voiced its intention to challenge the electoral watchdog's decision, nullifying the intra-party elections, by taking the matter to the Lahore High Court (LHC).
Barrister Gohar, the party’s recently elected chairman, led the charge, his words echoing with defiance and a touch of indignation. “We will fight for a free election,” he declared, accusing the electoral watchdog of a pre-meditated conspiracy against PTI.
Questioning the credibility of Akbar S. Babar, whose petition was central to the Commission's decision, Gohar emphasized that Babar’s standing within the party is not well established. He underscored PTI’s transparency, asserting that no other political entity has faced such stringent scrutiny.
