LAHORE - PTI Chairperson Imran Khan has approached the Supreme Court against the Lahore High Court’s decision of stopping the victory notification and ordering a recount of votes in Lahore’s NA-131.
PTI leader Babar Awan submitted on Monday an appeal in the SC on behalf of Imran. Imran was declared the winner even after a recount of the rejected votes, Awan said.
On August 4, the LHC had ordered the Election Commission of Pakistan to recount the votes in NA-131 on the PML-N’s petition.
The court had also barred the ECP from issuing a notification declaring Imran the winning candidate from the constituency.
PML-N’s Khawaja Saad Rafique, who lost the election to PTI chief Imran by 680 votes, had approached the court for the recount.
