Imran Khan
PTI Senator Ali Zafar has claimed that former party chairman Imran Khan will contest elections from three constituencies.

Speaking to the media, the senior lawyer said Imran Khan had filed a petition against the suspension of his sentence.

He added that the workers who rendered sacrifices for the party will be given tickets to contest the elections 100%, adding that the remaining tickets will also be announced soon.

Ali Zafar further said that stopping someone from submitting nomination papers is not a democratic act, hoping that the Toshakhana case will be resolved soon.

Moreover, PTI Chairman Gohar Ali Khan said elections have been announced, and the party wanted the process to be held on February 8 at any cost.

He said the decision on party tickets for the elections will be taken very soon.

The PTI is the largest political party in the country, and the former chairman will contest elections from Lahore, Mianwali and Islamabad, Barrister Gohar added.

He further said he would contest the polls from Buner. “There is so much panic that our candidates are not being allowed to enter the field,” Gohar remarked, claiming that PTI workers were being prevented from electoral activities.

Meanwhile, former federal minister Fawad Chaudhry has announced that he will contest the elections from inside the prison. An application was filed in court to allow the submission of nomination papers for Fawad Chaudhry.

“I am incarcerated in Central Adiala Jail and I have to submit nomination papers for election,” the application stated. He further said in the plea that he wanted to authorise his brother Faraz for issuing stamp papers and other matters.

Fawad Chaudhry's request has been approved, and he was allowed to sign the nomination papers.
