NA-75 Daska by-poll date changed
Islamabad: Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) Wednesday has changed the date of NA-75 Daska by-election. The new date according to ECP for the by-election is April 10.
According to GNN, the change in date of the Daska election is made due to the time required for full proof security arrangements for holding the elections.
Further, ECP said that due to the transfer and posting of new officers the date has to be changed.
Earlier today, the Supreme Court of Pakistan (SC) turned down the plea of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) seeking suspension of Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP)’s decision regarding re-polling in NA-75 Daska on March 18. The court, while adjourning case till March 16, stated that it would examine PTI candidate's application at the next hearing.
It is pertinent to mention here that the Elections Commission on February 25 had ordered re-polling in the entire NA-75 constituency on March 18 after suspicions that the results of the by-elections held earlier may have been falsified.
In the verdict, Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikandar Sultan Raja declared that the by-elections in the constituency were not transparent and law and order situation was disrupted.
Prior to that, the returning officer in NA-75 constituency had halted the by-poll results following violence and alleged vote fraud.
