The court said that the Election Commission says that Omar Ayub is not the General Secretary, how did they appoint the Chief Election Commissioner, on this Ali Zafar said that this is no ground to annul the intra-party elections, if anyone has any objection. He can go to civil court, this is what the constitution and law says.
