ECP turns down Punjab govt request to defer Rajanpur by-polls
ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Saturday turned down Punjab interim government’s request for delaying by election in the NA-193 Rajanpur slated to be held on Sunday.
In a statement, the ECP said that a control room had been established at the ECP secretariat to monitor the election. The control room will be responsible for addressing the complaints regarding the polling, the ECP added.
Punjab Home Department had approached the ECP to postpone Rajanpur by-polls citing security reasons.
The Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) had nominated Mohsin Leghari for contesting by-polls on Rajanpur’s NA 193 after the PTI chief Imran withdrew his nomination papers on account of fears of disqualification in Tyrian White case.
The seat fell vacant due to the death of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) member Jaffar Khan Leghari. He died on December 31, 2022 in Lahore after a prolonged illness.
