PTI Chairman Imran Khan also appeared before the commission and gave his statements regarding electoral rigging. Chief Justice Nasirul Mulk headed the bench that included Justice Amir Hani Muslim and Justice Ejaz Afzal.

The commission directed the participating political parties to refrain from giving media interviews in the Supreme Court boundaries.
