PTI gets third wicket in NA-154 verdict

425

MULTAN: Election Tribunal on Wednesday ruled in favour of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) candidate Jahangir Tareen in the NA-154 constituency poll rigging case.

The PML-N candidate Siddique Baloch gets ousted in the Lodhran constituency after this election tribunal verdict while this is PTI’s third such success as the previous two saw PML-N’s Khawaja Saad Rafique and Ayaz Sadiq’s election declared null and void.

The tribunal deseated Pakistan Muslim League—Nawaz (PML-N) candidate Muhammad Siddique Khan Baloch and ordered re-election in the constituency.

 The PML-N candidate has been declared unfit to contest elections for the rest of his life due to a fake degree.

Baloch’s victory as MNA was challenged Tareen who accused Baloch of rigging in the elections and challenged his educational degree too.

 

Baloch notched up the seat in May 2013 general elections as an independent candidate, and later joined PML-N ranks. He bagged 86,177 votes followed by 75,955 votes of Tareen.
