ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Wednesday notified victory of 48 senators-elect, including former premier Yousuf Raza Gilani and Minister for Water Resources Faisal Vawda who are facing legal challenges concerning their eligibility.
The ECP earlier in the day rejected pleas seeking withholding of victory notifications of Mr Vawda over his dual nationality controversy and of Mr Gilani for allegedly ‘buying’ votes in the recently held Senate polls.
As Mr Vawda finally appeared in person before an ECP bench, headed by its member from Punjab Altaf Ibrahim Qureshi, along with his counsel, the senator-elect was told to appear again and submit his answers to the commission at the next hearing.
