PESHAWAR: A losing candidate on NA-25, Nowshera-I, wherefrom the former chief minister Pervez Khattak has won the election, moved the Peshawar High Court the other day for recounting of the votes.
The petition was filed by Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) candidate Syed Zulfiqar Ali Shah through his lawyer Syed Azizuddin Kakakhel.
The Election Commission of Pakistan, returning officer for NA-25 Nowshera-I, PTI candidate Pervez Khattak, former chief minister who has won the election, and other candidates are respondents in the petition. The petition stated that after election, the petitioner requested the RO for recounting of ballot papers, but the request was not accepted to date.
In the grounds to the petition it was stated that the polling agents nominated by the petitioner were kicked out from polling stations at the time of counting of ballot papers and thus the votes of the petitioner were not counted in their presence and that’s why the petitioner was deprived of the form-45.
Prosecution, however, submitted that this trust was established by Dr. Abdul Qadir in his lifetime
