PPP intra-party polls challenged in ECPISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party’s recently-held intra-party elections have been challenged in the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP). Applicants Senator Safdar Abbasi and Nasir Ali Shah have made Farooq H Naik respondent in the case. They have taken the plea that PPP’s intra-party elections were a farce just to fulfil a formality and based on sheer malafide intention. They said the party had kept all the matters regarding schedule of the polls secret. Neither was the voters’ list revealed nor the elections schedule announced ahead of the elections, they contended.
