ISLAMABAD:  The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) stopped on Sunday the announcement of final results of 10 National Assembly and 16 provincial assembly constituencies across the country and ordered re-polling at 53 polling stations in three constituencies.


The ECP took up dozens of petitions, challenging the election results of various national and provincial assembly constituencies. Simultaneously, several other petitions were also filed in different high courts, which would be taken up on Monday.


While hearing the petitions, the ECP barred the returning officers concerned not to issue the notification of the success of any candidate from NA-15, Mansehra, NA-28, NA-49 and NA 50 in Attock, NA-55, Rawalpindi, NA-63 and NA-65 in Gujrat, and NA-47 and NA-48, Islamabad.
