The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) announced on Wednesday that imprisoned founding chairman Imran Khan will contest elections from at least three constituencies on February 8 next year.
PTI senator Ali Zafar told journalists that the Islamabad High Court (IHC) will soon announce its decision regarding the ToshaKhana case against Imran Khan, as the election schedule has already been released.
“We want to inform you that Imran Khan will contest elections from at least three constituencies, and we hope that the IHC will announce its judgement soon in the Toshakhana case, as the election schedule has been issued,” he added.
PTI’s petition requests the temporary halt of the former PM’s conviction in the Toshakhana case.
The senator also encouraged party workers to submit their nomination papers, stating that the party will prioritise imprisoned workers.
“Those [workers] who rendered sacrifices for the party, facing cases and braving difficulties will be allotted [party] tickets 100 per cent,” the PTI senator said.
The PTI leader clarified that the final decision on ticket allocation will be made by the incarcerated party founder.
