The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has issued a notification of success for a woman named Sadaf Ehsan for a reserved seat in the National Assembly from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on the quota of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
This move has sparked controversy within the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) party, as Sadaf Ehsan is reportedly not a recognised member of the party.
The head of JUI (F), Maulana Fazlur Rahman, has expressed his concerns over this issue. He has formally requested the ECP to annul the notification and conduct an investigation.
According to Fazl, Sadaf is not a party member and her name does not appear on their list.
He has demanded that the notification of Sadaf Ehsan be annulled and a notification for Hina Bibi, a recognized party member, be issued instead.
Fazl calls for an investigation into whether the notification was issued by mistake or in collusion.
He has urged the ECP to probe into the matter and determine the circumstances under which the notification of the unknown woman was issued.
