ISLAMABAD: PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, who is in Dubai due to security threats, may not be able to cast his vote on May 11 as the Election Commission of Pakistan has rejected his application for permission to cast vote through postal ballot.

This was disclosed by former prime minister and key PPP leader Raja Pervez Ashraf while speaking at a news conference here on Wednesday.—Amir Wasim
