Newly elected legislator of Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Jahangir Khan Tareen on Friday took oath as members of National Assembly (MNA). Speaker National Assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq administered it.
Jahangir Tareen defeated PML-N candidate Siddique Khan Baloch in the by-polls of NA-154 Lodhran, held on 23 December 2015.
The seat fell vacant after Siddique Baloch had been disqualified by an Election Tribunal on 26 August on a petition filed by Jahangir Tareen, who had accused the former of possessing a fake educational degree and committing massive irregularities during the 2013 general elections.
The Supreme Court however set aside the tribunal’s decisions and ordered re-election, allowing Baloch to take part in the by-polls.
