LODHRAN Feb 09 (TNS): Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairperson Imran Khan will addresses today a party rally related to the electoral campaign of the NA-154 by-poll.
The by-poll will take place on February 12, for which Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) issued a polling scheme on Friday.
According to the ECP, the constituency has a total of 431,002 registered voters, who will cast the ballot at 328 polling stations. A total of 1,043 polling booths have been set up at the stations, where 338 presiding officers and 1,043 assistant presiding officers will be on duty on voting day.
The seat was vacated after PTI Secretary General Jahangir Tareen was disqualified by the Supreme Court in December 2017 for not being ‘honest’ and ‘truthful’ as per Article 62(1)(f) of the Constitution.
Ten candidates will contest the NA-154 by-poll, out of the which seven are independent.
From PTI, Jahangir’s son Ali will be contesting the by-poll while Iqbal Shah from Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz and Ali Beg from Pakistan Peoples Party will be the other main contenders.
