ECP says PTI repeatedly using delaying tactics in intra-party election case

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has said that it was not responsible for any delay in implementing the decision of the Supreme Court, adding that ECP always tried to deal with this issue quickly but PTI repeatedly used delaying tactics.

The Supreme Court on Saturday rebuked the “misconceived” request by ECP to seek clarification from the top court on its verdict in the reserved seats case and ordered the immediate implementation of its original directions. After the SC’s decision, ECP said (mis)treatment of constitutional institutions is absolutely inappropriate.

it is a constitutional body, it will not accept any threat against the autonomous body. According to Election Commission, this impression is not correct that it has recognized Barrister Gohar as PTI Chairman. The ECP said no final decision has been taken on PTI intra-party election as PTI intra-party election matter is still under consideration.
