Overview
- An officially notified, seven-member committee has been set up on the directives of Secretary General Salman Akram Raja to review and amend the party constitution.
- The panel includes Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, Salman Akram Raja, Dr Arif Alvi, Hamid Khan, Asad Qaiser, Raoof Hassan, and Firdous Shamim Naqvi.
- The committee has been mandated to complete its review within 10 days of appointment, according to a notification dated December 9 signed by Raja and Naqvi.
- PTI says the revisions will remove anomalies, align the charter with other parties, and preempt potential objections from the Election Commission of Pakistan.
- The move is tied to preparations for early intra-party polls, as the party continues to face electoral symbol issues and a Lahore High Court order restraining the ECP from issuing a final decision on its past internal elections.
