Barrister Gohar Khan elected PTI Chairman unopposed

Barrister Gohar Ali Khan has won the intra-party elections unopposed as the chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). This is the first time in PTI’s history that he is the only person to hold the top position in the party twice.

“At the conclusion of the withdrawal phase of candidates/panels, there is only one candidate/panel remaining,” the PTI said in a statement late Thursday.

Member of the National Assembly (NA), Omar Ayub Khan, was elected as the PTI’s central general secretary after intra-party polls.

Dr Yasmin Rashid, Ali Amin Gandapur, and Haleem Adil Sheikh were also among party leaders who were elected unopposed to the positions of the party’s presidents for Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), and Sindh respectively, as no candidate came forward to contest against them.

The former ruling party will organise intra-party elections in Quetta to elect the president of Balochistan.

“The final result of the election will, however, be declared by the Federal Election Commissioner on March 3, 2024, at the conclusion of the election process,” read the statement.
