ECP to announce verdict in Tosha Khana reference tomorrow

Islamabad (HRNW) The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to announce on Thursday verdict in a reference seeking disqualification of PTI Chief Imran Khan over his failure to declare gifts he retained from the Toshakhana or the state gift repository.

The commission has informed all the respondents including the former PM.

The ECP had reserved its verdict on September 19.

The then-Prime Minister Imran Khan had retained gifts from the Toshakhana between 2018 and 2022 but failed to declare some of them in his annual statements of assets submitted before the ECP.

Under the law and rules, lawmakers are required to declare their assets with the ECP every year.

Multiple references were filed against Imran Khan after it emerged that he retained some of the Toshakhan gifts to sell them on the market.
