PTI intra-party polls case hearing on Sept 18

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has scheduled a hearing on the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) intra-party election case for September 18, issuing notices to PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar and party leader Raoof Hasan.

The ECP's move comes after an eight-member Supreme Court bench, in a case regarding reserved seats, urged the commission to expedite its decision on party leadership and intra-party elections.

The ECP has also scheduled the hearing for the intra-party elections of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl on September 18. The commission issued a cause list for the case, with a notice sent to JUI-F to submit its response.
