GB Court Orders Re-Polling in Diamer Constituency

ISLAMABAD: (Web Desk) – The Supreme Appellate Court of Gilgit-Baltistan has ordered fresh polling at Loshi Thak polling station in the GBA-15 Diamer-I constituency.

The court accepted an appeal filed by a Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl candidate and directed the Election Commission of Pakistan to hold re-polling at the station.

The ruling came a day after the court ordered re-polling at eight polling stations in the GBA-17 Darel constituency on another petition filed by the same party’s candidate.
