MULTAN, April 11: An election tribunal of the Lahore High Court’s Multan Bench on Wednesday annulled the election of a Punjab minister from a Multan constituency, declaring his rival, a candidate from the PML-N, as the winner.
The tribunal upheld a petition filed by Mehdi Abbas Khan Langah, the PML-N man, seeking the invalidation of the `victory’ of Punjab Labour Minister Rana Qasim Noon (PML-Q) from a Punjab Assembly constituency, PP-205 (Multan).
The election commission had first declared Mehdi Abbas the winner of the Oct 2002 polls with 25,293 votes against Rana Qasim Noon’s 25,135. But it over-turned the result one week later.—Correspondent
