The Sheikhupura district of Punjab has announced a public holiday on December 5 to facilitate the by-elections for Punjab Assembly constituency PP-139 Ferozewala. A notification from the Deputy Commissioner’s Office confirmed that all public institutions would remain closed to support the voting process.
This by-election in PP-139 comes after the seat was vacated following the passing of Rana Afzal Hussain, who had previously won it in a by-election after Rana Tanveer Hussain stepped down.
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has designated Shahid Imran Marth, Deputy Commissioner of Sheikhupura, as the District Returning Officer. Usman Jalees, Additional Deputy Commissioner (Revenue), will serve as the Returning Officer. Furthermore, Muhammad Adeel Khan, Assistant Commissioner of Ferozewala, and Rana Bakhtiar Ahmad, Deputy District Education Officer, have been assigned as Assistant Returning Officers.
Authorities have urged residents to participate actively, ensuring a smooth and transparent election process.
