Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) has decided to re-appoint Ayaz Sadiq as Speaker of the National Assembly.
According to sources, the government has finalised all the legal and constitutional measures in this regard.
Former speaker of National Assembly Ayaz Sadiq was de-seated by the election tribunal from NA-122 constituency of Lahore on August 22 after massive irregularities were found in the constituency during the 2013 general elections.
By–polls in the constituency will be conducted on October 11. The PML-N has again fielded Ayaz Sadiq as its candidate while the opposition party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has nominated Aleem Khan to contest the by-elections.
According to reports, the government has scheduled next session of the National Assembly on October 26 in order to re-appoint Sadiq as NA Speaker if he wins the election.
