The founding chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan, has directed party leaders to actively engage on the issue of appointing a new Chief Election Commissioner (CEC), reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Sunday.
Sources revealed that Imran Khan instructed PTI leaders to consult with opposition parties to finalise a unanimous nominee for the CEC position.
He specifically emphasised collaboration with the Grand Democratic Alliance (GDA) and parties under the Tehreek-e-Tahafuz Ain-e-Pakistan banner.
The PTI chief has called for a unified effort by opposition parties from Sindh, Balochistan, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa while also focusing on mobilising political momentum in Punjab.
In a significant move, Imran Khan appointed Alia Hamza as the Chief Organiser for Punjab. He also conveyed a clear message regarding the allocation of tickets for the upcoming elections: "Only those visible on the ground and actively engaged with workers will be considered."
"I am monitoring everyone’s performance. Leaders who stand with the workers will secure party tickets," Imran Khan said in a statement shared with PTI leaders.
This internal directive underscores PTI’s strategic preparations for the forthcoming electoral contests.
