SEC orders re-poll in Drugmulla, Hajin (A)
The State Election Commission (SEC) on Saturday declared the polls of two District Development Council (DDC) seats as “null and void” after two women from Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK), married to locals from the Valley, contested the elections in December last year.
“The SEC in exercise of the powers conferred under Section 36 of Jammu and Kashmir Panchayati Raj Act, 1989 has declared the polling to the DDC constituency Drugmulla and Hajin (A) as void, cancelling the candidature of Soomia Sadaf and Shazia Aslam,” an SEC order reads.
