ISLAMABAD: PTI Senator Faisal Wawda has requested the Election Commission to dismiss the disqualification case against him.
A four-member bench of the Election Commission headed by the Chief Election Commissioner heard the case of disqualification of Senator Faisal Wawda in which Faisal Wawda appeared before the Commission.
The ECP exempted Faisal Wawda from appearing in person in the case, while Wawda’s lawyer sought time from the ECP to present his arguments.
During the hearing, the Chief Election Commissioner said that two out of four petitioners had not submitted their reply to the Election Commission and all the petitioners would be heard together.
