The statement further said that a three-member bench headed by Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikander Sultan Raja, comprising Nisar Ahmed Durrani and Shah Muhammad Jatoi would chair the hearing.

It is noted that the frequent political victories of the PTI including a clean sweep victory in Punjab by-elections and the establishment of the Punjab government apparently forced the government alliance to demand the ECP to release the verdict in the case.

PTI founding member and former information secretary Akbar S Babar had filed the case in the ECP in November 2014, alleging financial irregularities in PTI’s foreign funding and that it received funds from prohibited sources.

However, the PTI has rejected the charges as baseless and unfounded.
