ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has barred all parliamentarians from visiting and taking part in the by-election campaign in NA-154 Lodhran.
It has come to the notice of Election Commission that certain members of the National Assembly and Provincial Assembly of Punjab Province were visiting the constituency where the by-election was scheduled for December 23, said an ECP spokesman while talking to APP.
He said such visits of members of Parliament and assemblies would be tantamount to the violation of code of conduct issued for
by-election in NA-154.
The ECP, he said, had advised all the stakeholders to observe the code of conduct in letter and spirit.
As per the code of conduct, after the issuance of election schedule, no public office holder can, neither openly nor in secret, give any subscription or donation or make promises for giving such subscription or donation to any institution nor inaugurate, commit to undertake or announce any development project therein for the advancement of the campaign of a candidate of his choice and thereby influence the results of elections. – APP
