PTI to move court against Hamza Shehbaz's election as Punjab CM

Islamabad, May 18 (UNI) PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry on Wednesday said that the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf had decided to challenge the election of Hamza Shehbaz as the chief minister of Punjab province in the Lahore High Court (LHC), accusing him of occupying the top provincial office "illegally", Dawn reported.
Briefing news persons Fawad said a quo-warranto petition (a plea questioning the authority of a public office holder) will be filed with the LHC on Thursday "and the court will be requested to remove Hamza as the provincial chief executive and order election on the coveted seat at the earliest".
The PTI leader urged the court to take up the petition and conduct its hearing on a day-to-day basis, adding that the speaker of the Punjab Assembly could have issued a notification in this regard, but the party decided to adopt a legal way to contest its case.
