KARACHI:
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has sought applications from its members willing to contest the by-poll on a seat left vacant by Prime Minister Imran Khan in Karachi.
For this purpose, a notification was issued by the party on Tuesday, which states that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has given August 30 as the deadline for submission of nomination papers for PS-87 and NA-243.
"All interested applicants are hereby advised to submit their nomination papers at the earliest," the letter reads, adding that the applicants are required to fill out the PTI application form to be considered for a party ticket.
NA-243 fell vacant after PM Imran chose to keep his NA-95 Mianwali seat and less than a fortnight before the July 25 general elections, the Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan's candidate for PS-87, Sharif Ahmed Khan, died in a road traffic accident, following which the ECP notified the postponement of the election in the provincial assembly constituency.
