ECP reserves judgment in PTI intra-party election case

Islamabad (Web Desk): The Election Commssion of Pakistan (ECP) on Wednesday reserved its judgment in the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) intra-party election case.

A four-member bench of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), led by Member Sindh Nisar Durrani reserved the verdict.

During the hearing, PTI's counsel Barrister Gohar requested leniency, stating that the commission has the authority to disregard the matter.

It’s worth mentioning that the commission had provided PTI with a two-week period until August 30 to present their arguments in the intra-party election case.

ECP’s Member Nisar Durrani emphasized that the case shouldn’t 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 PTI.

The ECP had summoned the PTI bigwigs for not conducting intra-party elections on August 4.

As per the sources, 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.
