A day after declaring advocate Malik Iqbal elected unopposed as president of the Kohat District Bar Association, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Bar Council (KPBC) on Tuesday revoked the election as invalid and called for fresh polls on March 5.
Malik Iqbal was declared the winner on Monday after the nomination papers of his lone rival advocate Abdur Rauf, who is also president of Kohat PPP, were rejected on the charges of corruption leveled against him by the former.
Senior lawyers, including Anwar Afandi, Kohat PML-N president, and Mr Rauf told Dawn that the KPBC member, advocate Swab Khan, who supervised the election, called for fresh polls after discovering that the objections to the nomination of Mr Rauf were baseless.
A fresh notification issued here set Feb 26 as the date for submission of nomination papers for contesting various offices of the Kohat District Bar Association.
