ISLAMABAD – Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Sunday has takennotice of harassing candidates participating in upcoming general polls.
According to details, the commission has directed provincial governmentsand inspector generals to ensure foolproof security to the candidates atany cost.
The action was taken a day after Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf’s (PTI) femalecandidate from Mansehra leveled serious allegations against her partymember Azam Swati.
PTI had allotted party ticket to Ambreen Swati from Manshera’s NA-13constituency but later cancelled her candidacy after merely one day.
Agitated by the move, Ambreen said that Azam Swati is supporting anothercandidate instead of the one nominated by PTI.
She has also released a threatening audio call of Swati in which he isasking her to return the ticket. Ambreen has questioned the partyleadership whether she was chosen a candidate in order to insult her. “Whywas I awarded the ticket if the party was not going to allow me contest theelection,” she asked.
