ISLAMABAD – The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) directed the returning officer (RO) for Gujarat on Monday to accept the nomination papers of five candidates, including Qaisera Elahi, the wife of former Punjab Chief Minister Parvez Elahi.
The candidates filed complaints with the ECP, stating that the returning officer was not present when they sought to submit their nomination papers for the by-election to the provincial constituency of PP-32.
In response to these concerns, the ECP gave formal instructions to the relevant returning officer to receive the candidates’ nomination papers.
The provincial seat of PP-32 became vacant as Chaudhry Salik Hussain retained his MNA seat.
The by-election for the constituency is set for April 21.
