ISLAMABAD: Former Federal Minister for Railways Khawaja Saad Rafique on Thursday challenged the Election Tribunal's (ET) decision of re-polling on NA-125 constituency in Supreme Court.
Saad Rafique's appeal was filed on his behalf by his lawyer Khawaja Haris Ahmed through Advocate on Record Tariq Aziz and prayed the court to accept his plea and set aside the impugned judgment of the Election Tribunal issued on May, 4.
He also pleads to dismiss the election petition filed by Hamid Khan.
According to Saad Rafique's lawyer, the election tribunal did not prove that his client was involved in rigging.
Faisalabad Election tribunal judge Javaid Rashid Mehboobi had declared null and void the results of the 2013 general elections on NA-125 and ordered a re-election on May, 4.
The tribunal judge also ordered re-poll on the Punjab Assembly's PP-155 constituency.
Hamid Khan of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) had challenged the victory of the PML-N's Khawaja Saad Rafique, claiming that the election in 2013 had been rigged.
Saad Rafique had bagged 123,416 votes from the constituency beating PTI's Hamid Khan who secured 84,495 thousand votes.
