On the other hand, a petition has taken the stand that the ECP disqualified Imran Khan for hiding facts about the Toshakhana case. There is a precedent that Nawaz Sharif did not remain party president after disqualification by the court. Legally, no party head can remain after disqualification. Referred to the Election Commission, but no action was taken on the request to remove him from the post. The court ordered the removal of Imran Khan from the post of Chairman Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI).
