The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Saturday restrained Returning Officers (ROs) from asking irrelevant questions from candidates filing papers to contest in the upcoming general election, media sources reported.
ECP DG Sher Afgan told media personnel that the election watchdog issued directives to ROs to avoid asking unnecessary questions from candidates.
Earlier on Friday, the Lahore High Court had also issued similar instructions to ROs and said they could only ask questions on information provided by candidates in their nominations papers.
