ISLAMABAD-
The election tribunal on Monday terminated the Punjab Assembly membership of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) MPA Muhammad Yaqoob Nadeem Sethi (PP-175) and restored membership of Tariq Mehmood Bajwa, another provincial assembly lawmaker, belonging to PML-N elected from PP-170.
The decision against Muhammad Yaqoob was taken by an election tribunal on rigging allegations leveled against the MPA.
The Election Commission Of Pakistan (ECP) issued a notification in this regard after the tribunal’s decision.
The ECP also restored the membership of another Punjab Assembly member, PML-N’s Tariq Mehmood Bajwa (PP-170).
Bajwa, who had earned a BA degree from Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan, had earlier been accused of having a fake degree.
His membership was restored after the Supreme Court decided in his favour.
