Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT)chief Dr Tahirul Qadri said that the Supreme Court's historic judgment ousting Nawaz Sharif even as party head is a victory of state, Constitution and democracy in Pakistan. Commenting on the judgment he predicted that the ex-PM would be arrested in the corruption cases against him as he had miserably failed to produce evidence of his wealth disproportionate to his known and declared income.

He said that all the decisions taken by Nawaz Sharif after his disqualification in July 2017 as prime minister have been thrown into dustbin of history with the apex court's verdict that "Ineligible person cannot hold the office of party presidency and annulled all decisions made by Nawaz Sharif. Babar Awan, counsel for PTI, took to Twitter and celebrated the verdict against the ex-PM. PTI spokesperson Fawad Chaudhry claimed that the ruling party will now have no chance to win the Senate elections.

PPP leader Maula Bux Chandio opined that Senate elections are likely to be postponed only because of the stubbornness of the disqualified premier.
