Summary Qaisar Jamal had secured 11,328 votes during last year general elections.

ISLAMABAD (Web Desk) – The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Thursday restored National Assembly membership of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf’s (PTI) Qaisar Jamal, Dunya News reported.

MNA Qaisar Jamal was elected from NA-47 constituency in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas during May 2013 general elections.

On May 5, he was disqualified by the Peshawar Election Tribunal over a ‘rigging’ complaint filed by independent candidate Abid Rahman.

Earlier today, a two-member bench of the apex court headed by Justice Sarmad Jalal Usmani rejected election tribunal’s decision and reinstated Qaisar Jamal as member of the National Assembly.
