Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) counsel Barrister Ali Zafar Tuesday told the Peshawar High Court (PHC) his party’s elections were conducted according to the Constitution.
Barrister Zafar’s argument came during the hearing of PTI’s writ petition challenging the Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) decision declaring the intra-party election as null and void and revoking their symbol ‘bat’ – a sign that depicts party’s founder, Imran Khan’s former life of cricket. A two-member bench, comprising Justice Ijaz Anwar and Justice Arshad Ali, conducted the hearing today in PHC.
“We conducted party elections according to the Constitution,” Barrister Zafar told the bench.
The ECP, he added, declared the party’s elections null and void and asked to hold the election again in 20 days. The lawyer maintained that the party abided by the electoral body’s decision and also provided Form 65.
