Islamabad: The inter-party election of Tehreek-e-Insaf was completed but many legal requirements of the election were left incomplete in haste.
According to legal experts, Akbar S. Babar has been given the best justification to challenge the intra-party election due to several legal flaws in the hastily conducted intra-party election by the PTI leadership.
According to the party constitution, the National Council was supposed to make an election, but no formal meeting was held. Before the election, no panel was formed, no ballot paper was printed, no nomination papers were advertised, no opportunity was provided to object to the papers. All the candidates were elected unopposed.

The nomination papers for the intra-party election had to be submitted by 3 pm on Friday. Akbar S. Babar, the founder member of the party, went to the party secretariat to collect the nomination papers and voter list, but he was told that the time for submitting the nomination papers had expired.
On the other hand, the sources of Tehreek-e-Insaf Election Commission say that the Party Election Commission fulfilled all the necessary legal requirements of the intra-party elections, which will be defended in every legal forum. After consultation with the founder Tehreek-e-Insaaf, nominations for other positions including the president will be made in the next two days.

Umar Ayub, Hammad Azhar, Ali Amin Gandapur participated in the election from an unknown location while Shah Mehmood Qureshi and Yasmin Rashid won the election unopposed from jail. Notifications of newly elected officials will be issued by Monday.
Legal experts believe that Akbar S. Babar’s position in the judicial forum will be strengthened due to many legal flaws in the hasty election, while Akbar S. Babar has already announced to challenge this election as a selection. .
