The Newspaper's Staff Correspondent Published November 1, 2024

QUETTA: The Election Tribunal of the Balo­chistan High Court has rejected a petition filed against retired Captain Abdul Khaliq Achakzai, the speaker of the Balochistan Assembly, and upheld his victory from PB-51 Chaman.

The petition was filed by Muhammad Asghar Achakzai, the provincial president of Awami Nat­ional Party, who lost the election. The petitioner alleged that rigging in the election led to the victory of Abdul Khaliq Achakzai, a PML-N candidate.

After hearing both sides, Justice Abdullah Baloch had reserved his decision, which he announced on Thursday.
