ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has Friday challenged the Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) decision of re-polling in NA-75 Daska in the Supreme Court.
PTI candidate Ali Asjad Malhi has made his opponent Nosheen Iftikhar party in the petition along with others and maintained that the ECP did not follow the rules and regulations while issuing order of re-election in the entire constituency.
Ali Asjad Malhi said the ECP verdict violates Article 10-A, and requested the apex court to issue results of the by-election after nullifying the ECP decision.
It is pertinent here to mention that the ECP had nullified by-election in NA-75 Daska and ordered to conduct re-polling in the entire constituency on March 18.
Announcing the reserved verdict, Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikandar Sultan Raja declared that the by-poll in the constituency was not fair and transparent. Law and order situation was disrupted while an environment of fear was created among the locals, he added.
