The Election Commission of Pakistan on Sunday removed Imran Khan’s name from the list of party leaders in the updated list of registered political parties.

The former ruling party was listed as a party without a leader while Pervez Khattak’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Parliamentarian (PTI-P) was listed in the registered parties.

It is pertinent to mention that the ECP declared that PTI’s intra-party elections were null and void on December 22.

The Commission said that the party would not be given the bat symbol in the upcoming general election as it had failed to organise the election as per its constitution, Election Rules and Election Act.

It also used the word ‘alleged chairman’ for Barrister Gohar Khan.

“The certificate dated 4th December, 2023 and Form-65 filled by the alleged chairman is regretted and rejected,” the decision said.

Meanwhile, the ECP removed the list of election symbols from its website. Sources said that the electoral watchdog will upload the updated list on January 13 next year as the officials were working to finalise the list allocated to parties.
