However, Awami National Party (ANP) provincial president Aimal Wali Khan announced that after consultation with party senior members its party has decided to submit a review application against the postponement of by-elections decision taken by ECP.
Aimal Wali, a candidate from NA-24 Charsadda, claimed that political parties were engaged in their campaigns for up coming by-elections on different NA constituencies, accusing that a safe way was being given to PTI Chairman Imran Khan.
Referring the ECP latest decision, ANP leader said that a number of constituencies in different provinces have been deprived of representation in the National Assembly and the recent decision would suffer them further.
