Peshawar (HRNW) – The Election Commission of Pakistan has summoned Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi on December 24, 2025, in connection with the violation of the election code of conduct.
Initially, the hearing was scheduled for December 12, however, the cases were delisted due to unavailability of the bench.
The NA-18 election irregularity case will also be heard on this occasion, for which the Election Commission has also issued notices to Shehr Naz Omar Ayub and Babar Nawaz. Shehr Naz had filed a complaint of irregularity in the by-election.
It should be noted that earlier, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi had not appeared before the Election Commission for violating the code of conduct in the by-election in NA-96 Haripur, and a notice was issued to him to appear in his personal capacity.
This step of the Election Commission has been taken to ensure compliance with the election code of conduct and to attract all candidates and government officials towards a transparent election process.
