NA 120: PTI Challenges Kulsoom Papers After PPP, PAT

Lahore (August 19, 2017): Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) on Saturday challenged in the Lahore High Court (LHC) a returning officer’s acceptance of PML-N candidate Kulsoom Nawaz’s nomination papers for the upcoming NA-120 elections.

According to the details, after Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), PTI has also challenged the acceptance of nomination papers of Begum Kulsoom Nawaz for NA-120 By-election by Returning Officer in the Election Tribunal.

The Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP’s) returning officer for the constituency had accepted Kulsoom’s nomination papers on Thursday after Senator Asif Kirmani appeared in her place to respond to reservations.The application, filed on behalf of PTI leader Andaleeb Abbasi, alleges that Kulsoom’s nomination papers contain a lot of contradictions and were accepted despite her not appearing in person.

Numerous laws were violated, while accepting Kulsoom’s nomination papers, which is why they should be rejected by overturning the returning officer’s decision, the application says.

Earlier, PPP candidate for NA-120 by-election Faisal Mir approved the Election Tribunal against the RO decision to accept the nomination papers of Kulsoom Nawaz.

Naming Kulsoom Nawaz, RO, Election Commission of Pakistan, NAB and FIA as respondent the PPP candidate has pleaded the tribunal to overturn the RO decision to accept the papers.He has taken the plea that following Nawaz’s disqualification PML-N registration has ceased to exist hence Kulsoom can not take part in the election on PML-N ticket.

PAT candidate Ishtiaq Chaudhry has already challenged the decision of the returning officer to accepted the nomination papers of Kulsoom.
