Pakistan People’s Party’s (PPP) Karamullah Waqasi had filed his nomination papers for the office of deputy mayor yesterday.

A candidate each from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) had also filed their papers.

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) last week announced that the election of deputy mayor Karachi will be held on April 18.

The office was vacated due to disqualification of Arshad Vohra for switching party loyalty after being elected to his position. His former party MQM-P had approached the election commission to de-seat Vohra for switching loyalty to the Mustafa Kamal-led Pak Sarzameen Party.

According to the ECP schedule, final list of the candidates will be released and allotment of election symbols to the candidates will be announced on April 11.

The ECP will announce the result of the election on April 19.
