Islamabad: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Thursday disqualified Adil Bazai, the PML-N Member of the National Assembly, and declared the NA-262 Quetta seat vacant.
The ECP announced a reserved judgment on a petition filed by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif under Article 63-A, referring to Bazai’s failure to vote on the budget and the 26th Constitutional Amendment.
The development came after Speaker National Assembly referred Adil Bazai MNA’s name to the ECP for his disqualification.
The reference sent to the Election Commission of Pakistan asked the electoral body to de-seat Adil Bazai from his NA seat.
President PML-N Nawaz Sharif sent Adil Khan Bazai’s disqualification reference to Speaker National Assembly for forwarding the same to the ECP.
Bazai was returned elected from a NA constituency from Balochistan. He was displayed on the National Assembly’s website as joining the PML-N.
