He expressed these views in a statement issued on the evening of the first-ever PTI intra-party elections which will start on Sunday the in the federal capital.

History is in making as the party workers will cast their votes tomorrow, said Khan. This would be the first step towards foundation of real democracy in the country, he added.

The PTI chief felicitated the whole nation especially the party members on the eve of first-ever intra-party elections. He said the PTI polls will provide the country a new and thriving political tradition that was overlooked by the leadership of so-called major political parties.
