SIALKOT: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has issued an advance warning to Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice-President Maryam Nawaz over her visit to PP-38 Sialkot constituency on Saturday.
Maryam Nawaz has been warned by the ECP to avoid campaigning for Azad Jammu and Kashmir during her visit to the PP-38 Sialkot seat in connection with by-elections scheduled for July 28.
Maryam Nawaz will travel to Sialkot today to speak to a crowd in the PP-38 Sialkot constituency.
The PP-38 by-election is set for July 28, while polling for the AJK Legislative Assembly’s LA-36, which includes Kashmiri immigrants from Jammu residing in Sialkot tehsil, is set for July 25, a day after Maryam Nawaz’s visit to Sialkot.
On July 28, a by-election for the PP-38 Sialkot seat will be held to fill the vacancy left by the death of PML-N MPA Khush Akhtar Subhani.
The PML-N had handed an electoral ticket to the dead lawmaker’s younger brother, former MPA Tariq Subhani, while the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf had given it to Qaiser Iqbal (PTI).
