ECP raises objections to PTI’s intra-party polls

ISLAMABAD – The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) objected to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) intraparty elections.

The ECP requested a formal response from the PTI about seven objections.

The ECP objected that the PTI’s intra-party votes were not held within five years, which violated Section 208(1).

The ECP inquired about the PTI’s standing as a political party, citing a lack of organisational structure over the previous five years.

“The PTI didn’t submit the election related documents of intra-party polls,” the ECP stated.

“Was the general body meeting held according to the Section 208(3)?” asked the ECP in the list of objections.

The ECP also questioned the legitimacy of the PTI’s general body and federal chief election commissioner.
