Ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif arrived at Lahore's NA-124 constituency to cast his vote, only to discover he was not carrying his national identity card.

As a result, he had to leave the polling station without being able to vote.

According to Geo News, the ex-PM was at the polling station for 10 minutes. He was accompanied by former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, who is contesting from NA-124.
