The subsequent press conference in Lahore by Chairman of PTI Ideology, Akhtar Iqbal Dar, accused PTI of collecting fake tickets. Dar claimed that PTI Ideology’s candidates had independently acquired tickets and emphasized that they had issued tickets for their candidates in Multan and Faisalabad.

Dar clarified that PTI-N would provide a list of its candidates to the ARY News anchor, Arif Hameed Bhatti, for the upcoming elections. He underscored that the tickets issued in 2018 are the same ones being reissued for the current electoral cycle, emphasizing consistency in PTI-N’s approach.
