Karachi: Polls to elect new deputy mayor tomorrow

KARACHI: Karachiites will elect their new deputy mayor tomorrow (April 18).

The office of deputy mayor was vacated after the election commission declared Arshad Vohra as disqualified in March.

The city council’s 300 members will elect the new deputy mayor tomorrow.

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) had disqualified Arshad Vohra as deputy mayor of Karachi in March.

The decision came on a petition filed by the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) seeking to de-seat Vohra for switching loyalty to the Mustafa Kamal-led party.
