Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman, Imran Khan has reiterated that they will award tickets to those persons only who are elected by party members on merit with substantial input from the district party organisations. He was addressing the party meeting held here on Tuesday disclosed a party's spokesperson. Imran said all PTI members will have to comply with the party's rules.
"PTI tsunami will create new Pakistan, bring new local bodies system and purge the country of looters and swindlers. I am confident that the dream of a new Pakistan would be realised in the next few months and that our party was all geared to face the challenges and save the country. There was no shortage of resources in Pakistan, but only good governance and merit was required," he added.
According to him, the successful first phase of the party elections was a new chapter in the country's history. These were the first-ever intra-party elections to be held in the entire subcontinent, smashing the negative traditions of nominating the party office-bearers by the dictatorial party heads. It was for the first time that the voters can exercise their right to vote through modern gadgets and information technology, paving the way for a new, transparent system of voting, where the voters will able to choose their leadership without any fear or favour. The intra-party elections of the PTI will uproot the prevailing rotten political culture and introduce real democracy in Pakistan. It will not only be the foundation of real democracy in the country but also uproot the rotten political culture in the country of holding fake and dummy party elections, life-time chairpersonships and family dynasties.
Imran averred that PTI polls would provide the country a new and thriving political tradition, which had been overlooked by leaders of the so-called major political parties, who lived in fear and hatched conspiracies against their members, workers and voters every day. "These parties have been in power several times with the false promises of creating a new Pakistan. The country could not be developed under the prevailing circumstances," he added.
