LAHORE: An election tribunal on Monday ordered reelection on Lahore's NA-125 constituency, a seat previously secured by Khawaja Saad Rafique of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) in the May 2013 general election.
Hamid Khan of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf had challenged the victory of the PML-N's Khawaja Saad Rafique, claiming that the election had been rigged.
Saad Rafique had bagged 123,416 votes from the constituency beating PTI’s Hamid Khan who secured 84,495 thousand votes.
Reading out a short verdict today in favour of the PTI candidate, tribunal judge Jawed Rasheed Mehboobi declared null and void the results of the 2013 general elections on NA-125 and ordered a reelection.
The tribunal judge also ordered re-polling on the Punjab Assembly’s PP-155 constituency.
