The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has announced the schedule for election in NA-120, which was left vacant after the disqualification of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif. According to the ECP schedule released on Tuesday, the election in NA-120 will take place on September 17, while candidates will be able to submit their nomination papers between August 10-12. The ECP will review nomination papers between August 15-17. Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Dr Yasmeen Rashid are expected to contest the election on tickets of PML-N and Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf, respectively.

Shortly after, the ECP also issued a notification disqualifying Nawaz Sharif as a member of the National Assembly
