The PTI demanded the resignation of the ECP chief and its members and rejected the decision as unconstitutional and a stab in the heart of democracy.
It also demanded the postponement of the upcoming election of the president and the Senate till the outcome of the plea they planned to file in the apex court. Speaking in the upper house of parliament, PTI leader Senator Syed Ali Zafar said there was no room in the Constitution for the elections with an incomplete electoral college.
Minutes after the ECP’s decision, Senator Zafar said the PTI would not accept the result of the presidential and Senate elections if these were held before the decision of the apex court.
He said all elections in an incomplete house were illegal.
“We understand that the election of prime minister was also unconstitutional,” he said.
