PTI Resignations Shibli Faraz Replaced by Ali Zafar

Earlier, another Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader and opposition leader in the National Assembly Omar Ayub had resigned from the Judicial Commission.

Senator Ali Zafar will replace Shibli Faraz as a representative and a member of the judicial commission.

According to reports, Shibli Faraz has tendered his resignation to the Chairman Senate through an official letter.

In the letter, Senator Shibli Faraz said that he is resigning owing to 32 FIRs filed against him and court hearings hindering his ability to serve effectively on the commission.

Sources revealed that the PTI chairman Imran Khan earlier approved the resignations of Omar Ayub and Shibli Faraz, the leaders of the opposition in the National Assembly and the Senate, from the Judicial Commission two days ago and directed that Barrister Gohar and Senator Ali Zafar be nominated in their place.

The PTI in October 2024, decided to formally join the Judicial Commission of Pakistan (JCP). The party had agreed on the nomination of members of the judicial commission from both houses of the Parliament.
