MPA Mohammad Salman, independent candidate who defeated Shah Mehmood Qureshi disqualified

MULTAN – Muhammad Salman, an independent-turned-Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf lawmaker Muhammad Salman, who defeated the incumbent foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi in the last general elections for PP-217 seat of the Punjab Assembly has been disqualified by ECP.

The decision came on a petition filed by a local leader of PTI who highlighted that Muhammad Salman was underage and was thus not qualified to be a lawmaker.

Announcing the reserved verdict on Monday, the election-watchdog has ordered re-election in the constituency.

‘According to Nadra record, the age of Muhammad Salman is less than 25 years, however, legally no candidate, less than 25 years of age is qualified to retain the seat,’ stated ECP in its verdict.

Muhammad Salman had taken part in the July 25 polls as an independent contender, however, surprised the political analysts by beating Shah Mehmood Qureshi – who was the strongest candidate for the slot of CM Punjab at the time.

Now will we have a new Foreign Minister or will Shah Mahmood let go of his dream to become CM Punjab?

ECP is very good at it's job.

Couldn't even read the guy's CNIC properly.

Well ECP and NAB are too most worthless institutions to date in Pakistan.

Who the hell is going to pay for the re-eleciton and almost 2 months of lost time?

 

[Sugarcane]

Shouldn't the returning officer who failed to check this basic and simple requirement and accepted nomination paper, and the ECP officials who counter checked also be dismissed from the post?

 

[El Sidd]

So basically a thread about chewing bones got more attention than this.

Waozah !!

 

[Maxpane]

Whata performance of election commission hats off

 

[Verve]

Hats off to ECP!

 

[Path-Finder]

ECP needs to be investigated.

 

[Ali Tariq]

ECP needs an overhauling.

 

[FalconStar]

ECP needs an overhauling.

Overhauling is a very light word.
They need to be washed with acid. This is just one stupid mistake, but they allow criminals to contest elections.
They allowed an Afghan Refugee in Baluchistan to contest and he won, later on they realized oh we made a mistake.

They are only there to warm up the seats.
