ECP notifies Imran Khan's NA-131 victory

The electoral body has also issued notifications for NA 108, NA-90, PB-38 and PK-4

ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan on Thursday issued victory notifications for three more National Assembly constituencies and two provincial constituencies.

The election commission issued a victory notification for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman Imran Khan from NA-131 Lahore after the Supreme Court suspended Lahore High Court’s directives for a recount in the constituency.

Imran was declared winner in the constituency securing more votes than Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s Khwaja Saad Rafique after a recount.



The Elections Commission of Pakistan also issued notifications for NA-108, NA-90, PB-38 and PK-4.

A recount of Faisalabad’s NA-108 confirmed PTI’s Farrukh Habib’s win. PML-N’s Abid Sher Ali’s had petitioned the Lahore High Court for a second recount in NA-108 and his plea was rejected earlier today.



Ali had claimed that ECP’s form 45 was forged in favour of his rival and PML-N polling agents were kicked out while the votes were being counted. Ali had requested the court to order a recount and issue a notification to halt Habib’s victory.

In the NA-90 (Sargodha III) recount, PML-N’s Chaudhry Muhammad Hamid Hameed once again received the most votes. PML-N’s Mir Naimatullah Zehri secured the PB-38 (Shaheed Sikandarabad) seat and PTI’s Aziz Ullah Khan won in PK-4 (Swat III) in their respective recounts.
