PESHAWAR: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Ali Amin Gandapur on Friday demanded the resignation from Cheif Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikandar Sultan Raja after being elected as the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's (KP) chief minister.

Gandapur, who contested the polls as an independent candidate, bagged 90 votes while his opponent, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) candidate Dr Ibadullah Khan, could only receive 16 votes.

Gandapur was supported by Sunni Ittehad Council's (SIC) members while Dr Ibadullah had the support of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Parliamentarians (PTI-P).

PTI founder Imran Khan had nominated Gandapur as his party's candidate for KP's leader of the house. 

Addressing the lawmakers in his victory speech, Gandapur promised to live up to the expectations of the PTI founder. 

He then spoke about his party leaders, saying that the injustice done to the PTI leader was never even witnessed under any fascism.

"Our leader fought for the nation for 27 years and he rightly used to say that we are not free but slaves and we require real freedom," he lamented, demanding a free and fair trial for Imran Khan and his release from prison. 

He also said that the party doesn't want any revenge, adding that they want a system that no one can abuse in this country. 

"The election symbol was taken from us and we are not even allowed to raise our voice for the people of Kashmir," he said, warning that they know how to snatch their rights.

"It is the responsibility of the state to give us our right," he added. 

The KP CM then talked about the February 8 elections, saying that the authorities concerned should restore their mandate. 

"Today the whole nation got to know who the selected one is. These selected come to rule again and again to steal people's money," he added.

CM Gandapur then said that 80% of the papers of PTI leaders were rejected which were later restored by the courts. He then asked the CEC for his resignation. 

He demanded to quash the first information reports (FIR) against the female candidates of PTI, asking Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa to form a judicial commission on the May 9 incident.
