ISLAMABAD: All the organisational offices of the Pakistan Tehreek-iInsaf (PTI) have been dissolved ahead of the party elections scheduled to begin on June 17.

The elections will continue for three days and results will be announced on June 20.

The notification regarding the dissolution of all the offices at all tiers was issued by Senator Azam Swati as the chief election commissioner for the party polls.

The decision to hold the elections was taken by the party leadership during a meeting of its central executive committee last month.The decision was announced two weeks after the Election Commission of Pakistan sent directives to the four provincial election commissions not to allot `bat` as election symbol to PTI candidates in any by-election because of its failure to hold the party polls.

The PTI held its last party polls on March 23, 2013 under election commissioner Hamid Khan and, according to its constitution, was supposed to conduct the exercise again by March this year.

The chairman dissolved all party organisations in 2015 following complaints of massive rigging and irregularities in the intra-party elections and in the light of the recommendations of a twomember tribunal, headed by retired Justice Wajihuddin Ahmed, constituted to investigate the allegations.
