PTI Leader Omar Ayub resigns from Judicial Commission of Pakistan

Senior leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly, Omar Ayub, has resigned as a member of the Judicial Commission of Pakistan.

In his resignation letter, addressed to the National Assembly Speaker, Omar Ayub explained that ongoing legal cases and multiple First Information Reports (FIRs) against him have made it difficult for him to serve the commission effectively.

“This decision was not taken lightly. However, I need to focus on resolving these legal challenges. It’s in the best interest of the commission to have someone with full dedication in this role,” he wrote.

Omar Ayub also nominated Barrister Gohar Ali Khan as his replacement, highlighting Gohar’s legal expertise, integrity, and commitment.

“I believe Barrister Gohar will be a valuable addition to the commission,” he added, requesting the Speaker to process his resignation and arrange Gohar’s nomination promptly.
