PTI to contest presidential election: Imran

Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chief Imran Khan said that his party candidate Justice (retd) Wajihuddin Ahmed would contest the presidential elections.
Speaking in a press conference here, Khan said that his party would not boycott the elections but does not agree with the SC's decision on the change in dates of presidential elections.
Imran Khan said that the PTI would not leave the field open for the PML-N.
He said the verdict of the Supreme Court for advancing the date of presidential election was within the constitutional framework.
The time given to run the campaign for presidential elections was not enough, he said.
Imran Khan thanked Jamaat-e-Islami for its support for the PTI candidate.
‘Rigging in the 11th May polls was the worst example one gets in history’ he said.
PTI’s presidential candidate retired Justice Wajihuddin Ahmad said the judgment of the Supreme Court had no constitutional‚ legal or moral blemish.
