  "account": "The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has barred three former members of the National Assembly, Zartaj Gul, Sahibzada Hamid Raza, and Abdul Latif, from running in any future elections, citing their failure to submit their 2024-25 asset statements. This ruling, issued on August 7, 2026, follows their earlier disqualifications in August 2025 and July 2025, respectively. These lawmakers join a long list of opposition figures who face disqualification for various reasons, including convictions for moral turpitude.",
