LAHORE: An election tribunal of the Lahore High Court (LHC) Monday dismissed a petition challenging the victory of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PMLN) MPA Mahmood Anwar from PP-182.
The tribunal, headed by Justice Anwaar Hussain, heard the petition, filed by an independent candidate, Akeel Aslam, and dismissed it due to contradictions in the annexed affidavit. The petitioner had challenged the results of the PP-182 constituency in Kasur, where Mahmood Anwar secured victory in the provincial assembly elections. Akeel Aslam had raised objections to the election outcome, alleging irregularities and seeking declaration of the results as void.
