Overview
- A letter dated November 26 and signed by Additional DG (Elections) Syed Nadeem Haider informed Gohar Ali Khan he lacks locus standi to act as party head.
- The response addressed Gohar’s November 13 request seeking acknowledgment of recently elected independent senators’ affiliation with PTI.
- The intra-party elections dispute remains pending under a Lahore High Court stay, and PTI appears on the ECP roster without a listed chairman.
- Gohar said he received the letter on Saturday and indicated he would challenge the position in court.
- The ECP could move to seek vacation of the stay to obtain a final ruling, according to reports, as earlier Supreme Court decisions left PTI’s parliamentary status and reserved-seat claims contested.
