PTI will file judicial reference against CEC Sikandar Sultan Raja

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has decided to file a judicial reference against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC).

A meeting of the party presided over by chairman Imran Khan took the decision to register a judicial reference against CEC Sikandar Sultan Raja.

The PTI leadership voiced their concerns over the meeting between members of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and a government delegation.

“CEC Sikandar Raja Sultan violated the ECP’s code of conduct and his oath,” the PTI leadership said.

It was also decided in the meeting that two provincial assemblies – Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa – will bring a no-confidence motion against the election commission and legal experts had been asked to initiate proceedings in this regard.

Earlier on Saturday, PTI senior Fawad Chaudhry said that the PTI was mulling over bringing a reference against the CEC against meeting leaders from ruling coalition.

He said this while addressing a press conference, the former federal information minister said that leaders of the government alliance called on the CEC where prohibited funding case of the PTI came under discussion which is against the judges’ code of conduct which also applies to Sikandar Sultan.

However, talking to the media in Islamabad, former premier Shahid Khaqan Abbasi admitted that a government delegation met with the Chief Election Commissioner and provincial members of the ECP to demand the verdict on the PTI foreign funding case.
