The Election Commission of Pakistan has rejected his application for permission to cast vote through postal ballot.

This was disclosed by former prime minister and key PPP leader Raja Pervez Ashraf while speaking at a news conference here.

Bilawal has also been unable to lead the PPP campaign in any form contrary to earlier claims that he would be available for the campaign. The party is already denied the presence of President Asif Zardari who has been restrained from indulging in any political activities.

Meanwhile, Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaaf chief Imran Khan will also be unable to cast his vote in home constituency, Mianwali, where he is also a candidate for National Assembly.

Imran is currently recuperating at the Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospital he had founded. His doctor Faisal Khan said Imran is recovering “more speedily” than we expected but is not allowed to move about because of fractures in the spinal vertebrae and ribs.
