Declaring elections for the seats of Chairman and Deputy Chairman Senate as ‘unconstitutional’, the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) has said that it will boycott these elections. According to media reports, PTI’s core committee told that the party had now decided that it would move a court against these elections. Sources disclosed that it was an opinion in the party that since the House of federation was incomplete due to the postponement of Senate elections in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP); therefore elections for these coveted seats were not constitutional.   They further said that the PTI leaders were of the view that the upper House of the parliament was presently not functional due to the absence of its chairman, and the Senate Secretariat could not take any decision other than administrative ones.
