The tribunal decided that Shujaat’s removal as party leader by the PML-Q central working committee was unlawful and that the elections that the party central committee had announced were likewise invalid.
In response to the decision made by the PML-Q group led by Pervaiz Elahi to remove Shujaat from his position as party president and name Wajahat Hussain as the Q-leader, League’s Shujaat submitted a complaint to the tribunal.
The PML-Q leadership’s divisions have grown more entrenched in recent months as the Shujaat-led fraction refused to back Imran Khan while his cousin emerged as the former government’s most important partner.
