The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf will hold its intra-party elections in 15 days, sources claimed on Wednesday and added that the party has initiated preparations for the same. Barrister Gohar Ali Khan has been nominated as the chairman and Rauf Hassan will be the Chief Election Commissioner for PTI’s intra-party polls, which will be simultaneously conducted across the country.
Previously, a day after PTI announced the schedule for fresh inter-party polls, the party postponed them on February 2 until after February 8. The party cited commitments of members in their respective constituencies and PTI venues being “unlawfully blocked by the administration” as reasons for the delay. The earlier round of the party’s inter-party polls was declared null and void by the Supreme Court before the general elections. The party also lost its iconic ‘bat’ electoral symbol.
