The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has filed paperwork with the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on its recently finished intra-party polls, The News reported on Sunday.
The documents, given by the PTI’s Federal Election Commissioner Raoof Hasan, include information about the newly elected party office-bearers, a certificate from the party leader containing Form 65, the names of core committee members, and other pertinent data.
The party, which elected Barrister Gohar Ali Khan and Omar Ayub as chairman and secretary general on March 3, hopes to obtain the necessary certificate to be allocated the election symbol “bat” by the electoral board.
The development comes as the previous ruling party has been embroiled in a months-long debate over intra-party polls and the electoral symbol.After being thrown out of the election race after the Supreme Court upheld the ECP’s decision to withdraw its “bat” emblem alleging illegal intra-party polls, the PTI held new intra-party polls last week.
