According to the schedule, the revised list of candidates will be published on December 22, with the final date for withdrawal of candidacy and publication of the updated list set for December 23. Election symbols will be allotted on December 24, and polling is scheduled for January 16, 2025.

Earlier, the Election Commission of Pakistan disqualified MNA Adil Khan Bazai over floor crossing.

As per details, the commission announced its verdict on disqualification references filed against Bazai.

Bazai, an independent candidate from Quetta, had initially submitted an affidavit joining the PML-N, only to switch allegiance to the Sunni Ittehad Council a few days later.

During the hearing, Bazai’s lawyer claimed that his PML-N membership affidavit was fake.

Nawaz Sharif’s lawyer argued that Bazai’s actions violated the constitution, particularly in the finance bill and constitutional amendment voting.

The PTI-backed independent candidate Adil Bazai secured the seat of Quetta’s National Assembly constituency (NA-262) in the general election of 2024.
