The RO also administered oath to the polling officers and concerned staff.

The by-poll is scheduled to take place on April 10 in the Daska constituency as the Supreme Court of Pakistan on Friday upheld ECP’s decision for re-polling in the constituency.

On Friday, the Supreme Court (SC) had upheld the Election Commission of Pakistan’s decision to hold re-polling in the entire National Assembly constituency NA-75 in Daska.

A three-member bench of the apex court, headed by Justice Umer Ata Bandial had heard the petition of PTI candidate Ali Asjad Malhi, challenging the ECP order of February 25, 2021, declaring the by-election at NA-75 Daska void and ordering re-polling in the whole constituency.
