News Desk:Â In a major development concerning the NA-251 election dispute, the Balochistan High Court Election Tribunal has ordered re-polling at 22 polling stations, where the General Elections 2024 were originally held in February 2024. The tribunal has also suspended the victory notification of Maulana Samiuddin, the candidate of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F).
The ruling was issued by Justice Amir Nawaz Rana on a petition submitted by Khushal Khan Kakar, Chairman of the Pashtunkhwa National Awami Party (PKNAP). Kakar challenged the February 2024 election results, alleging irregularities, mismanagement, and discrepancies at several polling stations within the constituency.
According to the tribunal’s decision, the concerned electoral authorities have been directed to conduct fresh polling at the 22 identified stations of NA-251 to ensure a transparent, credible, and fair outcome. The case is expected to play a significant role in shaping the political landscape of the constituency as both parties prepare for the re-election process.
This development has renewed public and political attention toward electoral transparency, election disputes, and judicial oversight in Balochistan’s political system.
