July 30, 2018
ISLAMABAD (92 News) – The Election Commission of Pakistan has sought a written reply from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan over violation of the code of conduct during casting his vote in the general election 2018. Imran Khan's lawyer Babar Awan appeared before the ECP on behalf of the PTI chief. Bar argued that when Imran was publicly stamping the ballot paper on the table, neither the presiding officer nor other polling staff objected to the violation. After hearing Awan's argument over the matter, the ECP ordered a written reply from the PTI chairman and adjourned the hearing till August 16.
