ECP rejects PTI extension request

ECP turned down PTI's request for an additional week to respond in the Islamabad Election Tribunal case

ISLAMABAD:

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.
