ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Wednesday rejected a petition seeking to stop the issuance of the notification of Senator-elect Faisal Vawda’s victory. At this, Qureshi pointed out that several columns were left empty in Vawda’s nomination papers for the National Assembly in the 2018 general elections. He submitted his nomination papers on June 11, 2018, which were approved by the ECP a week later on June 18. We should be given temporary relief by stopping Faisal Vawda’s notification,” he said. “We can de-notify after the decision is taken regarding [Vawda’s] ineligibility but we cannot stop the notification at the moment.”
