PTI Parliamentarians Internal Elections

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Parliamentarians (PTI-P) is committed to upholding democratic values within our party structure. Our internal election process ensures transparency, fairness, and active participation of all members in choosing leadership and candidates for public offices.

Elections within the party shall be held through intra-party elections and all these activities shall be the responsibility of the Secretary General (under the chairman). Intra-party elections shall be conducted by secret ballot as per the country’s election laws, Election Act 2017 and Election Rules 2017. However, at present, elections within the party have been conducted only up to the central level. Later, keeping in mind the increasing membership over time, the organizational structure will be implemented at other places.

There shall be an Election Board to conduct elections within the party, headed by the Election Commissioner and consisting of four members who shall neither be office bearers nor candidates in the upcoming elections. They shall be elected by the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the party, the Secretary General and other office bearers in consultation with them and by majority decision.

Nominations for provincial national and senate seats shall be made on the basis of a majority decision of the central and provincial officials, which shall be approved by mutual consultation of the Chairman, Vice Chairman and Secretary General. If a decision cannot be reached on the basis of equality in any matter, the decision of the Core Committee in consultation with the Chairman shall be final.

In the event of a vacancy in any elected office, a by-election shall be held to fill the vacancy. The Central Executive Committee shall initiate the by-election process within 7 days. Members interested in standing for the vacant office shall submit their nomination papers to the Election Committee. Registered party members shall have the right to vote in the by-election. The candidate receiving the highest number of votes shall be declared the winner.
