Twitter Reactions To The ECP Ruling Against The PTI

Following the Election Commission of Pakistan's (ECP) ruling against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in the prohibited funding case against it filed by founding member Akbar Babar, social media users have expressed an array of emotions regarding the verdict.

A three-member bench on Tuesday declared the verdict around 10:30 AM, which was originally supposed to be announced on June 21st, but had been reserved. The bench was headed by Chief Election Commissioner Sikander (CEC) Sultan Raja, and by unanimous decision, they found the PTI to be guilty of receiving prohibited funds.

Since then, social media has been abuzz with opinions on the matter.

Some users believed that the PTI was fully in the wrong and thus support the ECP verdict.
