ISLAMABAD: Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Tuesday notified that by-poll in the NA-154 (Lodhran) constituency would be held on February 12. ECP has set December 26-28 as the dates when candidates will be able to file nomination papers. The list of candidates will be published on January 16, 2018, after the completion of scrutiny of nomination papers on January 5. The seat of the NA-154 constituency in Lodhran fell vacant after the Supreme Court (SC) disqualified Tareen for “non-declaration of his property/asset i.e. ‘Hyde House’ in his nomination papers, and in making an untrue statement” in the court, on a petition filed by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Hanif Abbasi.
