The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has decided to reschedule the NA-33 Hangu by-polls.
According to a notification issued by the ECP here on Friday the by-polling in the constituency will now take place on April 17, 2022.
The NA-33 Hangu by-polls were held on April 10 but due to Supreme Court Suo-Motu on the National Assembly Deputy Speaker ruling related no-confidence vote against the Prime Minister Imran Khan the elections were suspended.
“Pursuant to the order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of Pakistan in Suo Motu case No.1 of 2022 dated 7th April, the date of poll for bye election in the Constituency No. NA 33 Hangu is hereby re-fixed as 17 April 2002”, the notification states.
It may be mentioned that the nominees of three political parties Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F), Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Awami National Party (ANP) are Akhunzada Mufti Obaidullah, Nadeem Khayal and Syed Umar respectively for the run in the by-elections to the vacant National Assembly seat in NA-33 constituency in Hangu district.
This seat has become vacant due to the death of PTI National Assembly member Khayal Zaman in the month of February.
