The Balochistan High Court's election tribunal on Friday declared the election of National Assembly Deputy Speaker Qasim Khan Suri as void and ordered a reelection in NA-265 constituency.

Suri's election had been challenged by Nawabzada Lashkari Raisani, who had filed a petition against alleged rigging in the 2018 general election. The tribunal, headed by Justice Abdullah Baloch, had reserved its verdict in the matter earlier this month.

Raisani was one of the candidates who contested from NA-265 and had lost to Suri, who went on to become National Assembly's deputy speaker.

The Balochistan National Party candidate, in his petition, had contended that a total of 114,000 votes were cast during the polls in NA-265 constituency out of which a sizeable number of votes were declared invalid and argued that the election had been rigged.

ARTICLE CONTINUES AFTER AD
According to the results announced by the ECP, Suri had received 25,979 votes and was followed by Raisani, who received 20,394 votes

The Balochistan National Party (BNP) candidate, in his petition, had contended that of a total of 114,000 votes cast during the polls in NA-265, "65,000 votes were invalid". He had argued that the election had been "rigged" since a sizeable number of votes could not be verified.


According to the results announced by the ECP, Suri had received 25,979 votes while Raisani had received 20,394 votes. According to the ECP's official results, 3,422 votes in total had been rejected in the constituency.

It's a strange decision. The number of rejected votes is 3422 while the victory margin is around 5000 votes. Further there were 25 candidates in the fray. Raisani got 20389 votes while Suri got 25973 votes. Total votes polled were 114,731. So, the rest of the 68549 votes were secured by 23 other candidates, including those of PPPP and PMLN.
