Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Sher Afzal Marwat, through a constitutional petition on Friday, challenged results of the general election 2024.
He also challenged formation of the committee to probe allegations levelled by former Rawalpindi commissioner Liaquat Ali Chattha.
The petitioner also prayed to the apex court that the appointment of the chief election commissioner and Election Commission members should be declared null and void.
Marwat also urged the apex court to
declare all forms 47 illegal. The petitioner also demanded that the Supreme Court should void the high-powered committee constituted by the ECP.
The PTI leader, through his petition in the Supreme Court, also prayed to the court that the interior ministry should be directed to form a judicial commission to probe the rigging allegations in general elections.
This judicial commission should consolidate all results across the country including that of Rawalpindi division.
Meanwhile, in an interview to a news channel Marwat claimed that Barrister Gohar Ali Khan was “removed” as the chairman of the former ruling party over “unsatisfactory” performance.
His remarks came a day after Gohar announced that the PTI’s next chairman nominee is Barrister Ali Zafar. The party’s internal elections are scheduled to take place on March 3.
The former ruling party’s top post had been lying vacant for more than a month after not only the Election Commission of Pakistan, but the Supreme Court also declared its intra-party elections unlawful and stripped the party of its iconic bat symbol.
Therefore, Gohar, who became the chairman as a result of those elections, was not the party head anymore. But as the party is set to hold its next elections, it has chosen someone else other than him.
