ECP to Announce Verdict on PTI Reference Against Gulalai Today

Islamabad (October 24, 2017): The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) is expected to announce  it verdict on a reference filed by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) seeking de-seating of its dissident MNA Ayesha Gulalai.

During previous hearing, an ECP bench headed by Chief Election Commissioner had reserved its judgment in the case filed by the PTI against Gulalai seeking ECP to de-seat her for defying party orders.

In the previous hearing on Oct 17, Imran’s lawyer Sikander Mohmand reiterated before the commission that Ayesha Gulalai announced to leave the party and then backtracked from her statement.

“Gulalai leaving party but not leaving assembly membership is not possible as per the party Constitution,” said the lawyer.

Gulalai’s lawyer barrister Masroor rejected PTI accusations and said that expressing the desire to leave party and actually resigning are not the same thing.Gulalai has never tendered her resignation to the party and said that she isn’t leaving PTI in National Assembly, Masroor said.

It is to be mentioned here that Gulalai announced to quit the party in early August after levelling allegations of harassment against the PTI chief.
