JP election case verdict postponed again to 8:00 p.m.

Supreme Court has again postponed the hearing for Jumhoory Party’s election case to 8:00 p.m. tonight (Monday).

The court postponed the hearing to 5:00 p.m., which was initially scheduled for 2:30 p.m. A verdict is expected today.

The second round of the presidential election was postponed pending a verdict by the Supreme Court case, filed by Jumhoory Party asking the court to annul the first round results based on alleged irregularities surrounding the election. The court held the last hearing for the case on 25th September.

Supreme Court has not provided a reason for the postponements.
