ECP restores Saad Rafique's NA membership

Islamabad: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) today issued a notification regarding Khawaja Saad Rafique’s restoration, as Member National Assembly from NA-125 constituency of Lahore. 

Last week, the Supreme Court temporarily suspended the decision of an election tribunal, which ordered re-election in Lahore s NA-125 and PP-155 constituencies. Saad Rafique had challenged the tribunal’s decision in the Supreme Court. 

The tribunal had found irregularities in NA-125 and PP-155, after which the ECP had denotified the Railways Minister Khawaja Saad Rafique as MNA.
