The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) will decide on Monday whether Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan is eligible to contest the by-election in NA-45 Kurram.
After the former prime minister’s disqualification in the Toshakhana reference, the returning officer has sought a legal opinion from the electoral body over the PTI chief’s eligibility.
The electoral watchdog has called a meeting at 12 pm on Monday to consult on the matter. The legal team will respond to the commission’s constitutional questions.
The returning officer had written the letter to the body, asking whether the former premier could contest the by-polls or not, in view of his disqualification in the Toshakhana reference.
