Lahore: The Lahore High Court (LHC) has asked Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) arguments against the victory of Istehkam Pakistan Party’s (IPP) candidate Abdul Aleem Khan in NA-117 on a plea.

According to the details, Justice Baqir Ali Najfi has heard the plea on this case.

The applicant’s lawyer stated that Abdul Aleem has got victory from NA-117 in Form-47 while he was failed according to the results of Form-45. ECP has not done its duty in a good manner.
