The Federal Constitutional Court (FCC) of Pakistan has suspended the victory notification of Ali Hassan Zehri, a candidate from the Pakistan Peoples' Party (PPP), in the PB-21 Hub constituency. According to Business Recorder, the court ordered the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to conduct a fresh recount of votes in 39 polling stations. This decision came after a petition filed by Muhammad Saleh Bhotani challenged the Balochistan High Court's previous judgment from December 20, 2024. The FCC's ruling overturned both the BHC and ECP's earlier decisions, emphasizing the need for a thorough re-examination of the vote count. The article notes that Zehri resigned from his position as Balochistan's Minister for Agriculture and Cooperative following the court's decision, highlighting the political ramifications of the ruling.
