ISLAMABAD: Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Wednesday has disqualified Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Senator Faisal Vawda over concealing his dual nationality at the time of participating in the National Assembly election on a Karachi seat during 2018 General Elections.
A three-member bench headed by Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikandar Sultan Raja announced its reserved verdict, directing the PTI leader to return the salary and other benefits he had received as a member of NA (MNA) within two months.
The commission has also declared the vote which Vawda had cast in the Senate elections on March 10 as MNA “invalid”.
