ECP dismisses Imran Khan s reply in ballot secrecy case
The commission was yet to issue the victory notification from NA-53 constituency in Islamabad after it dismissed Imran’s reply in ballot secrecy case.
A four-member tribunal headed by Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) retired Justice Sardar Muhammad Raza conducted hearing of the case and announced the reserved verdict.
“How a single reply can be submitted in two cases? The response is not acceptable in secrecy of ballot code violation case. Submit a written explanation for it,” the CEC told Babar Awan.
Following the orders, Awan submitted a separate written reply stating that Khan did not make his vote public on purpose as the voting screen fell due to the huge crowd. It went on to say that Imran Khan did not willingly show his vote to the camera.
