PTI Leader Reveals Key Candidates and Protest Plans Amid Election Disputes
Gohar Ali Khan, flanked by party leader Sher Afzal Marwat and Mashal Yousafzai, said that the PTI founder had approved the names of Mian Aslam Iqbal and Salar Khan as the party’s candidates for CM Punjab and CM Balochistan slots respectively.
Gohar Ali Khan also revealed that Aqibullah Khan will be PTI’s candidate for Speaker KP Assembly where PTI-backed independent candidates are in the majority.
He maintained that his party will also reveal the names of candidates for Speaker and Deputy Speaker National Assembly soon.
The senior PTI leader was of the view that his party won 180 seats in the February 8 elections but their mandate was stolen and a party (PML-N) which couldn’t even secure 20 seats is planning to form a government.
He maintained that PTI has requested the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and judiciary to speedily dispense justice in 70 rigging cases so that PTI can get back the stolen mandate.
“We will come across as a strong opposition party (in NA) till we get back our mandate but there will be no power-sharing agreement with PPP, PML-N, or MQM,” said Gohar Ali Khan.
Protest Announcement
Gohar Khan concluded his media talk by announcing that his party will stage a peaceful protest across Pakistan on Saturday along with several other parties who have expressed their reservations over election results.
He urged all party supporters and workers to bear Pakistan flags in this protest.
Khan said that ANP, JUI-F, JIP, GDA, and several other parties have voiced concerns over election results.
