The Election Commission of Pakistan had announced schedule for the election on empty Senate seat vacated by Faisal Vawda, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

According to the ECP schedule, the election for the vacant upper house seat will be held on March 9 in the Sindh Assembly building. 

Candidates could submit their nomination papers from Feb 17 to Feb 19. The first list of the candidates will be released on Feb 21.

The scrutiny of nomination papers will be held till Feb 24 and the final list of the candidates will be released on March 3.

Polling will be started at 9am and will continue till 4pm on March 9, according to the schedule.

Ex-PPP senator Vawda challenged his lifelong disqualification from holding any public office by the Election Commission of Pakistan in Islamabad High Court yesterday. 

Today, the court reserved its verdict on the admissibility of his appeal.

Chief Justice Athar Minallah, on the occasion, asked Vawda’s counsel as to what should be the consequences of submitting a ‘fake’ affidavit. “The Supreme Court (SC), in its verdict, had gone one step ahead and said that criminal proceedings should be initiated in such a case,” he remarked.
