...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is

(PTI) Chairman Imran Khan
... aka
Taliban Khan, who ain't the sharpest bulb on the national tree...
said that issues faced by the country cannot be resolved till free and fair elections are conducted in the country.
"The only time transparent elections were held in the country was in 1970, elections held in 2013 witnessed a record level of rigging," claimed Imran Khan while addressing a presser at the PTI Secretariat on Friday.
Imran said that people blame him for continuously complaining about the rigging in elections rather than moving forward, "but that remains the root cause for all the problems faced by the country," he insisted.
"As the party leader, I lost by a margin of 8,500 votes, while my candidate Aleem Khan lost by 2,400 votes. Is Aleem Khan more popular than I am, no, I am more popular than him," stated Khan while referring to the recently held by-polls in NA-122.
The PTI chief went on to say that "it is not a matter of who is more popular, but a case of how effective the PTI was in controlling the rigging in the recently held by-polls".
