PTI to challenge ECP’s decision on BAT symbol before PHC

The sources say that the PTI has not yet received the officially verified decision from the Election Commission.

ISLAMABAD: (UrduPoint/Pakistan Point News-Dec 23rd, 2023) Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Saturday decided to challenge the Election Commission's decision to declare intra-party elections null and void and revoke the electoral symbol through a petition in the High Court.

After the decision was announced by the Election Commission on Friday, PTI's legal team members arrived at the Peshawar High Court on Saturday.

According to the sources, PTI did not yet receive the officially verified decision from the Election Commission.

PTI said that they would approach the court once they received the verified decision and, if necessary, would proceed even without it. However, the absence of a verified copy of the Election Commission's decision may lead to objections from the court.

It's worth mentioning that PTI did not receive the officially verified decision from the Election Commission so far, and they have expressed their intention to challenge the decision once the verified copy is obtained. If the verified copy is not received, PTI still plans to file a case in court, although the court may raise objections due to the non-submission of the verified decision copy.

It may be mentioned here that the ECP earlier reserved the verdict and announced late on Friday night—the time when the PTI could not challenge it before any relevant forum.
