ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) will announce its verdict in the much-delayed Toshakhana disqualification reference against PTI Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan at 2pm today.
The case, which was filed by lawmakers of the ruling alliance, has been pending for several months.
According to a notice issued today, the ECP ordered all the relevant parties or their counsels to appear before the commission at its secretariat, situated at Constitution Avenue, G-5/2, in Islamabad.
It should be noted that the ECP had reserved its verdict in the Toshakhana case on September 19 following months of hearings. After hearing the arguments, a five-member bench of the ECP, headed by Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja, reserved its ruling.
The election body has also sought security from the Islamabad Police inside and outside the watchdog’s premises.
Toshakhana is a word of Persian origin that literally translates into “treasure house”.
