ECP accepts PML-N's plea, orders recounting in NA-249
Credibility of vote is a sure foundation of democracy, says Shehbaz
ISLAMABAD:
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Tuesday accepted Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) candidate Miftah Ismail's plea and ordered recounting in the NA-249 constituency.
Lawmakers have been asked by the ECP to reach the office of the returning officer (RO) on May 6 for the recount.
The election commission had earlier today reserved its decision on the plea.
Happy to learn that PMLN's demand for a vote recount in NA-249 has been accepted. The narrow difference in votes of the top contestants necessitated this in the interest of transparency. Credibility of vote is a sure foundation of democracy.
