ISLAMABAD:
The ruling party and opposition will again lock horns in re-election in the hotly-contested NA-75, Daska constituency, on Saturday (today) to get their man to win the coveted slot, prompting the ECP chief to supervise the polling process in Lahore.
According to sources, Chief Election Commissioner Sikander Sultan Raja will be in the provincial election commission office in Lahore today as he would be “personally supervising” the re-polling process.
Moreover, in order to ensure a fair re-election in NA-75, the provincial election commission has assigned Pakistan Rangers the task of safe transportation of presiding officers and the polling material to and back from the polling stations to the office of the returning officer.
