PTI Tickets Reserved for Loyalists, Affirms Barrister Gohar

Imran Khan Directs PTI to Prepare for General Elections 2024: Barrister Gohar Ali Khan Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan asserted on Wednesday that PTI leaders announcing their dissociation through press conferences would not be considered for election tickets, as reported by The News.

Speaking to the media outside Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi, Barrister Gohar stated, “The PTI is adamant about not granting tickets to those who held a press conference, no matter how many people are involved in this.”

He mentioned that PTI founder and former Prime Minister Imran Khan had directed the party to prepare for the general elections in 2024.

Addressing the Supreme Court order related to Shah Mahmood Qureshi, the PTI chairman emphasized that it was the Election Commission’s responsibility to ensure its implementation. He added that the commission had requested the party to submit an application concerning the senior PTI leader and other incidents where party leaders and activists were targeted.

Barrister Gohar informed that they had notified the commission about the Peshawar High Court (PHC) order and urged it to upload the certificate of PTI’s intra-party elections, assuring that the commission would conduct an investigation. He emphasized that if a party’s election symbol is revoked, it is equivalent to its dissolution, and only the Supreme Court has the authority to do so.

On December 26, PTI Punjab Acting President Hammad Azhar stated that it was for party supremo Imran Khan to decide the fate of PTI leaders who parted ways with the party by holding “press conferences.”
