Ineligible: Chota Lahor tehsil nazim de-seated

SWABI: Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman cancelled the councillorship of Shahab Ali, the convener and naib nazim of Chota Lahor tehsil, Tuesday morning. Ali was appointed as the member of tehsil council of Chota Lahor on a JUI-F ticket. However, he later formed an alliance with Sohail Khan, the nazim of Tordher tehsil, who belongs to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. This went against the policy of JUI-F. He later became the naib nazim of Chota Lahor tehsil council. On Tuesday morning, Rehman signed the draft, cancelling Ali’s post and issued an application to the election tribunal for his ineligibility for the post.
