ECP announces schedule for by-elections in key constituencies across Punjab

Polling for PP-139 Ferozewala set for next month amid political realignments.

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has released the schedule for the by-election in the PP-139 constituency of Ferozewala, following the seat’s vacancy caused by the passing of PML-N MPA Rana Afzaal Hussain.

As per the ECP’s timetable, nomination papers will be available starting October 18, and candidates are required to submit them between October 21 and October 24. The finalized list of candidates, along with their election symbols, will be announced on November 12.

The by-election for PP-139 will be held on Thursday, December 5. The seat became vacant after the death of Rana Afzaal Hussain, a veteran politician and former member of the Punjab Assembly.

Earlier this year, Federal Minister Rana Tanveer Hussain won from the same constituency in the general election, but vacated the seat, leading to a by-election that Rana Afzaal won. He secured 48,850 votes, defeating PTI-supported Sunni Ittehad Council’s Ejaz Hussain Bhatti, who received 30,122 votes. TLP’s Rafaqat Ali managed 4,809 votes.

District Returning Officer Shahid Imran Marth, along with Returning Officer Usman Jalees and Assistant Returning Officer Adeel Khan, have been designated to oversee the by-election in PP-139.
