ECP to notify Imran Khan as winner from 7 NA seats after expense details submitted. The Election Commission of Pakistan<\/a> (ECP) on Thursday ruled to declare PTI Chairman Imran Khan as the winning candidate from all the constituencies he won during October’s by-elections.<\/p>\n

A five-member bench of the Election Commission, headed by Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikander Sultan Raja, announced the verdict it had reserved last month.<\/p>\n

The ECP had taken notice of the PTI chief\u2019s failure to submit the details of election expenses for the constituencies he had contested in October 2022.<\/p>\n

The PTI chief had contested by-polls on six seats \u2014 NA-22, NA-24, NA-31, NA-108, NA-118, and NA-239 \u2014 on October 16 while the election on NA-45 was held on October 30.<\/p>\n

The verdict stated that Imran Khan has submitted the required details to the electoral body after which it decided to notify him as the winning candidate on all the seven National Assembly seats.<\/p>\n

The electoral body had reserved its verdict in the case on December 20.<\/p>\n

According to the election laws, \u201cEvery returned candidate shall, within five days from the date of the election, submit return of election expenses in accordance with the provision of section 29.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOn receipt of the returns of the election under sub-section (3) of section 24, the Commission shall publish in the official Gazette the names of the returned candidates:<\/p>\n

Provided that the name of a candidate shall not be published who fails to submit the return of election expenses as required by sub-section (3) of section 24.<\/p>\n

On October 16, Khan contested from seven NA constituencies and won the by-polls in NA-31 Peshawar, NA-22 Mardan, NA-24 Charsadda, NA-108 Faisalabad-VIII, NA-118 Nankana Sahib-II and NA-239 Korangi, Karachi-I, after beating the ruling coalition\u2019s candidates.<\/p>\n

However, Khan lost the NA-237 Malir-II Karachi seat to PPP\u2019s Hakeem Baloch in Karachi, and the other NA seat was lost by PTI leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi\u2019s daughter Meharbano Qureshi to PPP\u2019s Musa Gilani, a son of PPP leader Yusuf Raza Gilani, in Multan.<\/p>\n

These seats were vacated when the National Assembly speaker accepted the resignations of nine PTI MNAs, who had tendered resignations en masse as the party policy.<\/p>\n

The NA-45 seat fell vacant after PTI MNA Malik Fakhar Zaman tendered his resignation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
