The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Monday decided to boycott the election for Senate chairman and deputy chairman scheduled for tomorrow (Tuesday), VOS News reported.
The decision was taken in the PTI’s core committee meeting where the party urged for delaying the election owing to the postponement of the Senate election in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The PTI, in a statement, said that the upper house of the parliament was incomplete without the election of Senators from the KP, thus the election has been unconstitutional.
The party said that the elections would be “unconstitutional” if it fails to represent all units of the federation.
The former ruling party claimed that the complaints against Islamabad High Court’s (IHC) Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani were a government tactic to frighten the judges.
The misconduct reference against a specific judge is a result of the campaign against the judiciary, the PTI core committee added.
