The Election Commission of Pakistan has accepted another plea filed by Nawaz Sharif, seeking to halt the results of NA-15, Mansehra.
A three-member commission, led by Nisar Durrani of the Sindh Commission, convened meeting to address concerns of alleged rigging in the contested constituency.
Nawaz Sharif’s counsel Jahangir Jadoon presented the case before the ECP. The advocate highlighted that an earlier appeal by Nawaz Sharif was dismissed as he was late, and emphasised the absence of vote recount in NA-15. He argued that Form-47 had been issued without proper vote counting in various polling stations in the constituency.
Nisar Durrani, heading the commission, responded by saying that the returning officer had submitted the report for NA-15 and claimed the result and Form-47 had been prepared with Form-45 data in all polling stations.
Jadoon sought an opportunity to present evidence as he claimed to have original Form-45 of all polling stations. He said voting was not conducted in several polling stations of NA-12, Mansehra.
