The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) will announce its reserved verdict on the contempt of court case against former prime minister Imran Khan and federal minister Fawad Chaudhry tomorrow at 12 noon, reported 24NewsHD TV channel Tuesday.
The case pertains to the allegations of rigging and bias made by Khan and Chaudhry against the ECP and the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) during the 2018 general elections.
The ECP had initiated contempt proceedings against the two leaders for violating the code of conduct and undermining the authority of the commission.
The Ministry of Home Affairs had apologized to the ECP for presenting its opinion on the matter without consulting the commission.
The ministry had earlier sought the opinion of the Ministry of Law for the trial of Khan and Chaudhry in Adiala Jail, where they are currently detained on corruption charges. However, the ECP had rejected the ministry's opinion and reserved its own decision after hearing the arguments of both parties.
