ISLAMABAD:

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Tuesday de-seated a Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) member of the Punjab Assembly, following his disqualification by the Supreme Court on the basis of a fake degree.

 The ECP issued the notification for de-seating Kashif Mehmood, who was elected from the PP-241 Bahawalnagar-V constituency. He had defeated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) candidate Malik Muhammad Muzaffar.

The de-seating of Mehmood reduced the strength of the PML-N and allies to 178.

Ch K A Nye | 2 years ago | Reply I would like to think that the ECP would thoroughly scrutinise EVERY candidate before allowing them to even run for office. This stupidity allows an ineligible liar to get elected vote and legislate etc. unless caught.
