PTI Press Release on the Annoucement of ECP Regarding delay in Elections

Response of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf on the issue of announcement of schedule of constituencies by the Election Commission of Pakistan.

• Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf completely rejected the schedule issued by the Election Commission.
• Announcement to challenge the decisions of the Council of Common Interests tomorrow before the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
• The schedule of constituencies issued by the Election Commission is malicious and a clear deviation from the Constitution.
• In the case of premature dissolution of the National Assembly, the Constitution bluntly obliges the Election Commission to hold elections within ninety days.
• Election Commission's schedule is a criminal attempt to prolong the caretaker government against the intention of the constitution.
• After violating the Supreme Court's order on holding elections in Punjab and Pakhtunkhwa and breaking the constitution, the Election Commission is once again engaged in efforts to violate the constitution.
• In the light of the decision of the Council of Common Interests, the new constituencies cannot be used as a justification for escaping the elections.
• Apart from the Prime Minister, the four elected provincial chief ministers are also part of the Common Interests Council.
• A major irregularity was committed by making the illegal caretaker chief ministers of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa a part of the decision-making process in the meeting of the Council of Common Interests.
• In view of the popularity of Tehreek-e-Insaf and the possibility of a worst defeat in the elections, the conspiracies to deprive the people of their right to vote according to the constitution will be resisted.
• The Election Commission of Pakistan's schedule against the constitution will be challenged before the Supreme Court.
