ISLAMABAD:

An application has been filed in the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) seeking disqualification of PTI Chairman Imran Khan after the electoral watchdog ruled that the former ruling party indeed received prohibited funding.

The application has been filed by Amun Taraqqi Party Chairman Faiq Shah.
It requested the election supervisor to disqualify the PTI chairman under Article 62 (1)(f) of the Constitution for submitting false affidavit.

It urged the ECP to withdraw all the perks and privileges from Imran he received as MNA and premier.

While referring to Faisal Vawda’s case, the plea said that the PTI leader was disqualified for submitting a fake affidavit and was ordered to return all the privileges he enjoyed being in office.

The plea also sought the removal of Imran from the party chairmanship.

Earlier in the day, the electoral watchdog, in a unanimous verdict, ruled that the PTI did indeed receive prohibited funding and issued a notice to the party asking why the funds should not be confiscated.

Ishtiaq | 2 years ago | Reply A meaningless move to say the least. ECP does not have the authority to disqualify a party or its leaders only Supreme Court can do that. Secondly the petitioner Mr Whatever Shah does not have a locus standi. In any case ECP s whole-riddled decision does not hold much water and will be quashed by the highe judiciary.
