SIALKOT: The ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) go toe-to-toe in Daska once again today (Friday) as the high-stakes by-election in NA-75 Sialkot-IV takes place nearly two months after the previous election was declared null and void by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) after a string of controversies.
The PTI is fielding Ali Asjad Malhi, while the PML-N is fielding Syeda Nausheen Iftikhar, whose father was the lawmaker of the constituency before he died, leaving the seat vacant.
The previous election, held on February 19, was marred by controversy. Two people were killed in clashes, there was aerial firing and widespread allegations of rigging after nearly two dozen election officers went “missing”.
