Scuffle between workers delays PTI party elections in Multan

Workers at polling stations engage in fights throwing chairs around and taking out tents.

MULTAN: The union-level party elections of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) in Multan were delayed after workers at various polling stations started fighting, reported Express News.

Workers at polling stations, including those in Hasanabad, Gol Bagh and Lodhi Colony, engaged in fights throwing chairs around and taking out tents.

Members of the party had earlier expressed that underhanded lobbying by key members, growing internal rifts and disorganisation were increasing behind a gleaming public image of PTI.

The most apparent example of growing dissent within the party were acts of lobbying and bribery for votes in the intra-party elections by various key members in Punjab, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) and Sindh, as observed by PTI members that wished to remain anonymous.
