Pakistan News: Polling for by-polls for PP-13 constituency is underway amid tight security in Rawalpindi on Wednesday.
A neck-and-neck contest is expected between Pakistan Muslim League- Nawaz (PML-N) candidate Haji Ghulam Raza and PML-Q candidate Chaudhry Adnan. A total of 11 candidates including Abid Pervez Mughal of Awami Muslim League (AML) are contesting for the seat.
An independent candidate, Raja Shahid, claimed that he has the support of the Pakistan People's Party (PPP). The PP-13 seat fell vacant when the Supreme Court disqualified PML-N MPA Yasir Raza for holding fake degree and ordered re-election in the constituency. The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has set up 108 polling stations including 52 for women and 56 for men. Polling is expected to conclude at 5 pm.
