ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) loses PK-23 Shangla seat after Election Commission of Pakistan on Friday ordered re-election in the constituency.
The ECP declared election results from the Khyber Paktunkhwa Assembly constituency null and void on the grounds that less than 10 percent woman had cast their ballots in the election on July 25.
In the July 25 polls, Shaukat Yousafzai of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf was declared winner from the constituency.
According to a complainant, women voters were forcibly stopped from casting their votes.
