Intra-party election: LHC takes up PTI’s plea against ECP’s decision today

LAHORE: The Lahore High Court will hear Friday (today) the petition filed by Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) against the Election Commission’s decision to hold the intra-party election again.

Justice Shujaat Ali Khan will conduct the hearing.

The petitioner stated the intra-party election of PTI was held on June 10 last year according to the law and Constitution.

The Election Commission passed an illegal order to hold the intra-party elections again within twenty days, the petition alleged. “The order of Election Commission is illegal and against the Constitution,” it said. The court should declare the order of the Election Commission to hold intra-party election null and void, the petition said. The petitioner requested the court to declare the intra-party election held on June 10, 2022 as valid.
