Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) central candidate Abrarul Haq on Monday filed a petition in the Supreme Court (SC) seeking orders for revocation of elections and asking for re-election in his constituency NA-117, Narowal.
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), the district returning officer (DRO), the Narowal DPO, DCO and PML-N central leader Ahsan Iqbal were made respondents in the petition.
Haq requested the court to withhold the notification with respect to Iqbal’s success.
He took the plea that rigging had taken place in NA-117 and several bogus votes were cast therein while attempt was made to steal PTI’s mandate. He was winning the election with overwhelming majority before the arrival of results from polling stations but he was declared unsuccessful when the result was announced.
Haq asked the court to cancel the polls held in his constituency and ordered re-polling in the entire constituency.
