ISLAMABAD: Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Thursday rejected an application seeking cancellation of party registration of the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on charges of money laundering after declaring it as non maintainable.
The ECP two-member commission headed by its member from Punjab Altaf Ibrahim Qureshi heard the application against the incumbent government seeking cancellation of PTI party registration on charges of money laundering.
The applicant Muhammad Azeem Khan Afridi appeared before the ECP commission and insisted that the ruling party PTI’s as many as 115 candidates from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are involved in the money laundering and called to cancel the party registration over giving tickets to money launderers.
The ECP rejected the application against the PTI in charges of money laundering and party cancellation and declared the application as non maintainable.
The commission also rejected an application against cancellation of party registration of Pakistan Justice and Democratic Party (PJDP). (With additional input from INP)
