The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has decided to file a petition in the Supreme Court for conducting elections of the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Assembly. The PTI K-P spokesperson said that an application will be filed in the Supreme Court on Wednesday (today), regarding the holding of elections in the province. The decision of K-P Governor Haji Ghulam Ali regarding not holding the elections within 90 days of the dissolution of the provincial assembly despite the court orders will be raised. According to the PTI, the Supreme Court ordered to hold the election in Punjab within 90 days as per the Constitution, while issuing a decision to look at the issue of K-P separately. PTI sources said that a separate writ petition was being filed in the Supreme Court regarding the date of election in K-P. On behalf of the lawyers, they said, the application will be submitted to the court on Thursday. Former provincial minister Taimur Jhagra said that an application would be filed in the Supreme Court for the K-P Assembly election. “No one needs to worry about the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa elections. Those who have not given the date [for elections] have violated Article 6.” Like the Pakistan Democratic Movement, he said, the lawyer of K-P governor had also fled the court. “The elections in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa should also be held within 90 days as per the Constitution.”
