The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday reserved its verdict on Awami Muslim League chief Sheikh Rashid's petition against the postponement of polls for NA-60 (Rawalpindi-IV).
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) had postponed the election in NA-60 after Rashid's main rival — PML-N's Hanif Abbasi — was disqualified after being sentenced for life in the so-called 'ephedrine case' last week.
Rashid today reached the LHC's Rawalpindi registry to petition against the ECP's decision. His stance was that the election can only be postponed by a returning officer if one of the candidates passes away. His petition stated that the ECP had no right to postpone the election for any other reason.
