Barrister Gohar Khan demands resignation of Chief Election Commissioner

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Barrister Gohar Khan demanded Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja to step down from the post.

Talking to the journalists outside the Adiala jail where he met with the PTI founder on Tuesday, Gohar Khan said that CEC failed to stop “election rigging”.

“In light of [Imran] Khan sahib’s directives, PTI demands him [CEC Raja] to step down immediately,” he said.

Barrister Khan demanded ECP issue election results according to Form 45 instead of Form 47.

PTI leader questioned the credibility and the transparency of the elections as he highlighted the allegations made by the former Rawalpindi commissioner.

Barrister Khan also warned that election results could impact Pakistan’s agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Barrister Gohar Khan said that the PTI’s newly-elected MNAs will join the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC), and added that the party has sent a list of 50 members to the ECP that will join the SIC.

He went on to add that the party also has an alliance with the Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (WMW) which will sit with the PTI in the centre.
