The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Thursday issued a notice to the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) candidate Abid Sher Ali for the by-polls in NA-108 over a violation of ECP’s electoral code of conduct.
According to details, the District Returning Officer has issued a notice to
Abid Sher Ali for reportedly organizing announcements regarding relief in
electric bills from mosques. Abid has violated para 42 of the electoral code
of conduct, the ECP notice read.
The ECP has ordered the PML-N leader to appear to the RO in person.
The notice read that Abid Sher Ali stage announcement of relief in electric
bills from local mosques which is a blatant violation of the electoral code
of conduct.
It is to be noted that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chief Imran Khan would
take on Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) leader Abid Sher Ali in the
NA-108 Faisalabad by-polls.
The coalition government will be facing another political challenge on
September 25 as PTI chief Imran Khan decided to contest by-polls on nine NA
seats.
