00:00 Jail former PM Imran Khan will not contest the intra-party polls and has instead nominated
00:08 Barrister Gauhar Khan for the post of Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf chairman to lead the party
00:13 in the upcoming Pakistan general elections.
00:17 Barrister Ali Zafar announced that Chairman Imran Khan would not be contesting intra-party
00:22 polls scheduled for December 2 and Barrister Gauhar Khan had been nominated for the slot
00:27 of party chairman.
00:29 The announcement came after much confusion and a sense of conflict creeping into the
00:33 party's talks, with unprecedented cracks emerging within its leadership regarding who will be
00:38 given the reins of the slot.
00:40 "Imran Khan was, is and will continue to be the chairman of Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf.
00:45 I will carry out my responsibility till Mr. Khan returns," Gauhar Khan said post the announcement.
00:51 An experienced lawyer associated with EJSA's Ehsan's law chambers, Barrister Gauhar Ali
00:57 Khan started his legal career in the early 2000s.
01:00 He currently manages the Islamabad office of the law firm.
01:03 Although he is a relative newcomer to the PTI, his rise so far has been meteoric.
01:09 Within a few months, he grew very close to the PTI chief, particularly after an exchange
01:13 of harsh words with Humayun Dilawar, the judge who convicted the PTI chairman in the Tushar
01:18 Khanna case.
01:19 In 2008, he contested for a National Assembly seat in Buneid on a People's Party ticket
01:25 but lost by a narrow margin.
01:27 Being the head of the Islamabad office of EJSA's Ehsan's law firm, Barrister Gauhar
01:31 Khan has handled cases at different courts, something that also brought him into close
01:35 contact with Bahariya town owner Malik Riaz.
01:38 In 2011, the property tycoon was booked by the anti-corruption establishment for encroaching
01:42 upon forest land in Raq Taqt Pari, a suburb of Rawalpindi, and Gauhar Ali Khan was the
01:47 one who handled the case.
01:50 Pakistan's election commission disqualified Imran Khan for five years on August 8, 2023
01:54 for selling state gifts when he held the position of prime minister.
01:58 This sentence was suspended on August 29, 2023.
02:00 However, at the time, Khan's legal aid said that a final decision was yet to be taken.
02:05 The elections, mandated by the Election Commission of Pakistan with the deadline of December
02:09 13, marks a pivotal moment for the party's internal dynamics as well as the country's
02:14 political scene as it strengthens the notion of minus Imran, at least for now.
02:19 This will be a huge development for the party as the country moves towards general elections
02:23 set to take place in February.
