ISLAMABAD: In light of a decision by an election tribunal, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) de-notified former deputy speaker Qasim Suri on Wednesday .
On September 27, an election tribunal had declared Suri’s victory from National Assembly seat NA-265 constituency (Quetta-II) null and void and had ordered the ECP to hold re-election there.
The former deputy speaker had challenged his disqualification from the National Assembly seat in Supreme Court on Tuesday. The petition urges the top court to declare the tribunal’s decision as void.
