Abdur Razzaq of Jamaat-i-Islami declared winner by the Election Tribunal
KARACHI: (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf’s (PTI) Syed Hafeez Uddin s victory in PS-93 Karachi has been declared null and void by the Election Tribunal.
Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) candidate Abdul Razzaq had accused Hafeez Uddin of rigging in this constituency. It had been claimed in the election petition that Abdul Razzaq had secured 11,800 votes according to the results provided by the Presiding Officers while Hafeez Uddin got 9300 votes. But three days later, Returning Officers declared Hafeez Uddin as winner.
After hearing the case, Election Tribunal has declared Hafeez Uddin ineligible while JI’s Abdul Razzaq has been declared winner from PS - 93.
On the other hand, Supreme Court of Pakistan has restored Sultan Mehmood Hanjra’s membership from NA – 176 Muzaffargarh. Sultan Mehmood Hanjra of Pakistan Muslim League (N) had been disqualified by the Election Tribunal on the accusations of rigging. Supreme Court’s bench headed by Chief Justice Nasirul Mulk reinstated Sultan Mehmood Hanjra annulling the tribunal’s decision. The Supreme Court’s ruling has also stopped Election Commission of Pakistan from re-election in this constituency.
Sultan Mehmood got 87,335 votes on PML-N ticket in General Elections 2013. His eligibility was challenged by Pakistan Muslim League – Functional’s (PML-F) Ghulam Mustafa Khar.
