ISLAMABAD-The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Wednesday rejected a Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) petition seeking the withholding of the notification of PPP’s Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani’s victory on the Islamabad General seat in the recently-held Senate elections.
ECP also issue ed notification of PPP’s Yusuf Raza Gillani victory as a returning candidate on the Islamabad General seat and PTI’s Fawzia Arshad as returning candidate on the Women’s seat.
However, it admitted for hearing a plea regarding a set of recordings that purportedly show Yousaf Raza Gillani’s son, Ali Haider Gillani, attempting to purchase votes and advising lawmakers how to waste their votes.
A four-member committee of the ECP had earlier today reserved its verdict on the matter after hearing arguments from the ruling party.
