SUKKUR: Jacobabad’s returning officer issued notices to Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf MNA Muhammedmian Soomro and Pakistan Peoples Party’s MPA Mir Aijaz Ahmed Jakhrani on Wednesday, directing them to be present during the process of vote recount for NA-196 on Dec 7.

RO Ghulam Ali Kanasir heard the complaint submitted by Jakhrani for vote recount on the directives of the Election Tribunal Sukkur and fixed Dec 7 for the purpose.

PTI’s Soomro was declared winner on NA-196 but his opponent Jakhrani rejected the result and filed a petition in the tribunal, which finally directed the RO to recount the votes and report it immediately.
