Metro53 - Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan's decision to boycott the upcoming by-elections has sparked internal disagreement within the party.
PTI leader Chaudhry Moonis Elahi, in a statement on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), opposed the decision, saying:
"Whoever advised Imran Khan to boycott the by-elections gave very wrong advice. We should contest every seat. If someone wants to rig the elections, let them. We must fight till the last ball and not back down."
Imran Khan had earlier announced that the party would not nominate candidates in constituencies where PTI lawmakers were "illegally" disqualified, stating that those members had stood by the party in difficult times.
According to political analysts, the disagreement reflects an ongoing debate within the party over electoral strategy, which may influence future political decisions.
