Kurram by-polls in doldrums

The disqualification of PTI Chairman Imran Khan by the ECP has raised many eyebrows over the fate of NA-45 (Kurram) by-election, scheduled to be held on October 30, as former premier is one of the contenders.

Since Imran was the approved candidate by the ECP for the constituency, the recent order has jeopardised his position to contest the election as the commission is yet to clarify the situation of NA-45 following the verdict.

The district election commission has written to the election supervisor to ask about the Imran’s candidature in the aftermath of October 21 disqualification judgment.
