SHC tribunal accepts PTI leader’s nomination papers; LHC tribunal rejects PML-N leader’s appeal
LAHORE:
An election tribunal in Sindh has set aside objections raised to a returning officer’s (RO) decision to accept the nomination papers of PTI leader Faisal Vawda for the upcoming Senate polls, scheduled for March 3.
A similar tribunal in Punjab has, however, upheld an RO’s decision to reject PML-N leader Pervaiz Rashid’s nomination papers because of non-payment of outstanding dues of the Punjab House in Islamabad.
PPP candidate Qadir Khan Mandokhail had filed an appeal against the RO’s February 18 order, arguing that Vawda, also the federal minister for water resources, had hidden his dual nationality ahead of the July 2018 general election and therefore he was not truthful and trustworthy in view of Article 63.

LAHORE:
Senior PML-N leader and former information minister Pervaiz Rashid on Friday challenged the Election Commission of Pakistan’s decision of rejecting his nomination papers for the Senate election scheduled for March 3.
Rashid challenged the impugned order at the Punjab Election Appellate Tribunal of the Lahore High Court, saying that he was ready to address the objections raised by the returning officer.
The election tribunal is expected to take up Rashid’s plea tomorrow (Saturday).
One of the objections pertained to a purported demand raised by Comptroller Punjab House, Islamabad through a notice on January 17, 2019 for an amount of Rs6.9 million and another notice for an amount of Rs2.65 million, making a total of over Rs9.5 million.
