ECP rejects PTI extension request

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Thursday turned down PTI's request for an additional week to respond in the Islamabad Election Tribunal case involving three federal capital constituencies.

A four-member bench, led by Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja, heard the case concerning PML-N's request to transfer the cases of three Islamabad constituencies to another election tribunal.

PTI candidate Shoaib Shaheen requested a week's extension as the case was pending in the high court, where notices had already

been issued.
