Ishtaiq Ahmed filed a high court appeal to Sharif’s NA-130 victory after the former three-time prime minister was proclaimed the winner based on unofficial and unverified results.
Judge Baqar Najafi ordered the plaintiff to get in touch with the Pakistani Election Commission, declaring the plea unacceptable.
For a recount of the ballots in NA-130, you can get in touch with RO or ECP, the LHC stated in its ruling.
It is important to remember that Muhammad Nawaz Sharif of the PML-N received 171,024 votes from 376 polling places, according to the unofficial and ambiguous result of Constituency NA-130 Lahore-XIV.
The three-time former prime minister, however, suffered a severe setback in the NA-15 Mansehra seat, when she was defeated by independent Shahzada Gastasap with 74,713 votes as opposed to Sharif’s 63,054 votes.
The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) candidates Maryam Nawaz, Khawaja Asif, and Atta Tarar were among the prominent candidates whose triumphs in the General Elections of 2024 were challenged in a number of pleas that the Lahore High Court (LHC) dismissed earlier on Monday.
The LHC told the petitioners to contact the Pakistani Election Commission (ECP) while dismissing their arguments.
