The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Wednesday accepted for hearing a petition by the ruling PTI seeking disqualification of PPP Senator-elect Yousuf Raza Gilani, while directing that the names of two PTI lawmakers also be included as respondents.
The ECP decided to issue notices to the former prime minister and his son Ali Haider Gilani over a video in which Ali was seen telling PTI MNAs how to make a vote in the Senate election invalid by over-writing and ticking in front of the names of all candidates on the ballot paper and purportedly offered money and development funds.
After winning the vote of confidence from the National Assembly, Prime Minister Imran Khan faces another challenge as the ruling PTI coalition partners have started demanding the Senate deputy chairmanship and ministries from the government.
