Barrister Gohar Ali Khan was Removed from the Post of PTI Chairman

Gohar was “removed” as the chairman for “unsatisfactory” performance.

Sher Afzal Marwat, a former leader of the ruling party, said on Friday that Barrister Gohar Ali Khan was “removed” from his position as the chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) due to his “unsatisfactory” performance.

He made these comments the day after Gohar declared Barrister Ali Zafar to be the PTI’s nominee for chairman. On March 3, there will be internal elections within the party.

The top position in the erstwhile ruling party had been unoccupied for over a month following the invalidation of its intra-party elections by the Supreme Court and the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), which also terminated the party’s famous ‘bat’ emblem.

As a result, Gohar was no longer the leader of the party; instead, he was elected chairman. However, the party has selected someone else in advance of its next elections.

Speaking with Geo News, Marwat stated: “Gohar’s removal as chairman is the result of incompetence and poor performance.” Although Barrister Gohar is a gentleman, his performance fell short.

The PTI leader stated in response to a query that Gohar did not live up to the expectations of the workers. “One must be active at all times to run a party office, but this did not happen.”

Leadership Actions

He claimed that the party leadership’s actions after the election were unacceptable and that Gohar ought to have taken the reins after the results, but he was unable to do so.

A day prior, Gohar declared, “This time, our candidate for party chairman will be Barrister Ali Zafar and Omar Ayub secretary general,” proclaiming the winner for the top position.

He advised everyone to use every effort to guarantee Zafar’s election as the party’s next chairman.

Raoof Hasan, the spokesperson for the PTI, had declared that on February 5, there would be elections within the party to choose the chairman as well as central and provincial organising bodies. However, the party decided to postpone the elections.

Candidates who want to run in the intra-party polls can turn in their nomination papers on February 23 and 24, and the nominations will be reviewed on February 25, according to the PTI’s revised election schedule.

On February 27, the party’s central office and provincial secretariats will release the final choices for nomination papers. On March 3, voting will take place.
