ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Wednesday demanded its \u2018constitutional right\u2019 to form governments in Centre, Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) due to public mandate given to Imran Khan-led party in general elections 2024, ARY News reported.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Taking to Twitter, PTI leader Barrister Gohar Ali Khan said that the country\u2019s future was linked with \u2018complete supremacy\u2019 of the Constitution. \u201cThe country always engulfed in crisis whenever it derailed from Constitution,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He pointed out Imran Khan-led party emerged single largest party in the elections despite the challenges it faced, which included the \u201csnatching\u201d of iconic symbol bat. \u201cWe weren\u2019t allowed to conduct an election campaign,\u201d he regretted.<\/p>\n

\u201cDaylight robbery of public mandate is a desecration of votes,\u201d he said, stressing the need for political stability and put Pakistan on the path of development.<\/p>\n

Barrister Gohar also demanded the election commission issue election results in sync with Form-45. \u201cThe seats that are robbed should be returned to PTI,\u201d he said, adding that his party would fulfill the responsibility of safeguarding the public mandate.<\/p>\n

The presser came after PML-N and PPP reached an agreement on forming a government<\/a> in Centre as both parties have agreed on a \u2018power-sharing formula\u2019 following days of negotiations.<\/p>\n

\u201cPPP and PML-N have achieved the required number and 1708526823 we are in a position to form the government in Centre,\u201d PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari said while addressing a joint press conference at Zardari House in Islamabad.<\/p>\n

Bilawal Bhutto pointed out that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) backed candidates and Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) failed to achieve a simple majority to form government in the Centre.<\/p>\n

He said that that both parties are going to form the coalition government and PML-N president Shehbaz Sharif will once again be the country\u2019s prime minister, praying that they would succeed in solving the problems of Pakistan.<\/p>\n
