ECP directs Arshad Vohra to submit response to MQM-P’s petition demanding him to step down as Karachi’s deputy mayorKARACHI: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) leader Dr Farooq Sattar has filed references against 11 former party members in the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP). The petition demands Vohra to step down as the deputy mayor “since he is not a part of MQM-P anymore”. The hearing, however, could not proceed as Vohra’s lawyer had not received a copy of the petition filed against him. The ECP ordered MQM-P to send a copy of the petition to Vohra and adjourned the hearing until December 26. MQM-P has filed the application under Section 36 of the Local Government Act 2013 against Vohra, Sattar said.
