PTI Sindh President Haleem Adil Sheikh has moved an election tribunal impugning the result of a National Assembly constituency in the city.

In his election petition, the provincial chief of the embattled PTI submitted that he had contested Feb 8 general elections as an independent candidate from NA-238 (Karachi East-VI).

Citing the Election Commission of Pakistan, provincial election commissioner, the returning officer, the returned candidate from the subject constituency Sadiq Iftikhar and others as respondents, the petitioner asked the tribunal to set aside the impugned result/notification and declare him returned candidate or order a fresh election in the entire constituency.

He contended that as per Form-45s, obtained by his polling agents from presiding officers at all the polling stations of the constituency, he secured the highest number of votes (84,049) while around 10,000 votes were polled to MQM-P’s aspirant Iftikhar.
