ISLAMABAD, July 22 (TNS): In a major development, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) postponed polls in NA-60, Rawalpindi constituency on Sunday following Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Hanif Abbasi’s sentence.
“The polling schedule for NA-60 will be issued later,” says a press release issued by the ECP here on Sunday.
A special anti-narcotics court sentenced Abbasi to life in the ephedrine quota case late Saturday, just four days before the general election in the country.
Earlier in the day, dozens of PML-N workers staged a protest at 6th Road in Rawalpindi against Abbasi’s life sentence.
