ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission will take up for hearing on March 11 a petition seeking disqualification of Senator-elect and former prime minister Yousuf Raza Gilani.
The petition was filed in the ECP by PTI leaders Kanwal Shauzab and Farrukh Habib after a video clip showing Ali Haider Gilani, the son of Yousuf Raza Gilani, telling some unidentified Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) lawmakers about techniques of wasting their votes circulated on the social media.
The video surfaced a day before the Senate polls in which PDM candidate Yousuf Raza Gilani defeated PTI candidate Dr Abdul Hafeez Sheikh.
