The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has handed down a five-year disqualification to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi.
The commission issued a formal notification, officially declaring Qureshi ineligible to participate in the upcoming general elections in 2024.
According to the notification, Shah Mehmood Qureshi was deemed ineligible based on a verdict from the official secret court, which found him guilty of unspecified charges.
The ruling effectively sidelines Qureshi from the political arena for the next half-decade, marking a substantial setback for PTI and its leadership.
The disqualification of Shah Mehmood Qureshi underscores the strict enforcement of electoral regulations and the Commission’s commitment to upholding transparency and accountability within the political landscape. As reactions unfold, the political ramifications of this decision are likely to reverberate across Pakistan's political spectrum.
