ISLAMABAD:

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Friday suspended the victory notification of PPP's Ali Hassan Zehri a day after issuing a notification declaring him the returned candidate from Balochistan Assembly constituency PB-21 (Hub).

The ECP on Wednesday decided to conduct a recount at 39 polling stations in the PB-21 Hub constituency, accepting Ali Hasan Zehri's application.

On Thursday, the polls oversight authority issued a notification declaring Zehri the returned candidate from the constituency. However, on the same day, the IHC suspended the ECP's decision.
