Peshawar: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lawyer Barrister Gohar Ali Khan Saturday elected as the caretaker party chairman.
According to the details, the online voting for the intra-party elections of PTI was held today in Peshawar.
The registered voters of Tehreek-e-Insaaf elected a new chairman today. Barrister Gohar Khan submitted nomination papers for the post of Chairman PTI.
Chief Election Commissioner Niazullah Niazi stated that Umar Ayub was elected as the Central General Secretary of PTI.
Apart from this, Ali Amin Gandapur has been elected as the president of PTI Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Yasmin Rashid as the president of Punjab, Aleem Adil Shiaik as president of Sindh, and Muneer Ahmad Baloch as president of Balochistan.
On the other hand, Akbar S Babar, the founding member of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has decided to challenge the intra-party election.
Talking with journalists, Babar said, as part of the founding members, he was involved in structuring the PTI constitution, in which democratic culture was adopted.
According to the party’s constitution, he claimed, that no chairman can be elected more than two times while its term would be not more than three years. “We aimed to make PTI an exemplary democratic party”, he added.
Akbar S Babar is of the view that every PTI leader has a right to contest intra-party- elections for party chairman.
Babar said, he also visited the party’s central secretariat in Islamabad along with others to “gain information about the intra-party polls, nomination papers and voter list”.
However, the PTI leader said, he was informed by the secretariat staff that “they do not have nomination papers, voter list and, election rules”.
Akbar S Babar said he wanted to take part in the intra-party elections, but the “secretariat staff and told us that nomination papers, voter list and, election rules do not exist”.
In this regard, Babar said he would approach the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and present all these facts of the “irregularities”.
