Asif may contest for Larkana seat

By Our Correspondent

LARKANA, April 14: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has appointed the district and session judge Qambar-Shahdadkot, Zameerul Hasnain Larik, as the District Returning Officer (DRO) while Additional Session Judge Manomal as Returning Officer for NA-207 (Ratodero, Mirokhan and Shahdadkot) constituency.

The election to the seat was postponed after the assassination of Ms Benazir Bhutto who had filed papers to contest in the 18 February polls.

The party sources told ‘Dawn’ that either Asif Zardari or Ms Faryal Talpur would contest from NA-207. Once decision is reached, the nomination papers would be filed on April 20, sources said.
