ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Monday ordered all successful candidates to submit details of expenses incurred by them in the by-elections 2018.
The successful candidates will have to share details of their election expenses with the electoral body within 10 days starting from today.
The returning officers, who have been issued instructions by the ECP, will inform the electoral body after successful candidates submit their details.
After receiving the details, the electoral body will issue notifications declaring successful candidates.
Other candidates who contested the by-polls will have to submit their details to the ECP within 30 days.
Polling for the by-election was held in 35 constituencies on Sunday, with 11 seats each of the National and Punjab assemblies, nine of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and two each of the Sindh and Balochistan up for grabs.
Results from the 11 NA constituencies saw the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) win four seats apiece.
The Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid-e-Azam (PML-Q) retained the two seats that were vacated by Chaudhry Pervez Elahi, while the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) won the NA-35 constituency in Bannu.
The PTI was unable to retain the two seats won by Prime Minister Imran Khan in the July 25 general election.
