ISLAMABAD:

Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) has asked the inquiry commission to examine the returning officers’ role in the polls, according to sources.

“It has become essential for the commission to seek a report from every RO of each NA and PA constituency on whether or not they had complied with the directives of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP),” states a six-page application submitted by PTI’s counsel Abdul Hafeez Pirzada to the three-judge panel on Saturday.

The party also wants the ROs to submit evidence of their compliance, and in case they had failed to conform to the directives, the reasons for their omission.
