PTI quashes speculations about Imran Khan stepping down as chairman
The latest reports say that important decisions have been made but decision about chairman is yet to be finalized.
Islamabad: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Tuesday quashed speculations surrounding Chairman Imran Khan stepping down from his position in the intra-party elections.
In an official statement released on Tuesday, the party spokesperson clarified, “No decision has been made regarding the relinquishment of Chairman Imran Khan or the nomination of any other leader in the elections,”.
This development took place after the Election Commission of Pakistan declared the PTI's intra-party elections null and void last week, instructing the party to conduct new elections within 20 days. Earlier, PTI leader Senator Ali Zafar had suggested that “perhaps Imran Khan may not contest the election for the PTI chairman's post,”.
