ECP restores Adil Bazai's membership as independent MNA
Pakistan
He was disqualified by the ECP based on a reference filed by PML-N President Nawaz Sharif
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has reinstated the membership of Adil Bazai as Member National Assembly (MNA) and issued a notification designating him as an independent candidate.
The ECP restored Bazai’s membership for NA-262 Quetta through an official notification, which clarified that he would be considered an independent candidate rather than affiliated with the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).
Previously, Adil Bazai faced allegations of deviating from party policy during votes on the budget and the 26th constitutional amendment.
He was disqualified by the ECP based on a reference filed by PML-N President Nawaz Sharif.
However, the Supreme Court overturned the ECP’s decision and reinstated Bazai to his NA-262 Quetta seat.
On December 9, the Supreme Court suspended the ECP's November 21 decision and restored Bazai’s National Assembly membership.
The ECP also announced that its earlier notification de-seating Bazai would remain suspended until a final decision by the Supreme Court.
