LAHORE: The Lahore High Court on Friday dismissed a petition seeking direction for the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to ensure there is no horse-trading in the upcoming Senate elections.
Representing the petitioner, Advocate Azhar Siddique argued before the court that the scrutiny process for Senate elections in 2018 was defective and once again the ECP has failed to issue guidelines for the implementation of Articles 62 and 63 of the Constitution. He said on the basis of major defects, the upcoming election for the Senate would destroy the sanctity and legality of the process. He said the political parties had been raising objections regarding rigging at the high level in the previous Senate elections. The counsel pointed out that a recently leaked video showing some parliamentarians from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa receiving money to vote in the 2018 Senate polls put a big question mark on the transparency of the election process.
