Former speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq and PTI leader Aleem Khan have filed nomination papers for by-election to National Assembly Lahore constituency NA-122.
An election tribunal had earlier annulled election on this seat in which Sardar Ayaz Sadiq had defeated PTI chairman Imran Khan in the 2013 general election.
Talking to reporters, Ayaz said the tribunal had penalised him for irregularities committed by the Election Commission staff but had not charged him for rigging. He vowed to win the seat with a bigger margin than in 2013.- news@khaleejtimes.com
