Summary The former Army chief returned to Pakistan on March 24 to contest the general elections.
KARACHI (Dunya News) - Former President Pervez Musharraf’s nomination papers for NA-250 were rejected but accepted for NA-32 on Sunday.
The returning officer of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) rejected the papers for NA 250 on the basis of Article 62 and 63 of the Constitution.
Musharraf had also filed nomination papers for NA-48 Islamabad for which the returning officer has summoned him today at 1PM.
However, his papers for NA-139 Kasur were rejected earlier this week when Maulana Javid Kasuri, a leader of Jamaat-i-Islaami, raised objections against his candidature.
The Supreme Court will also hear a petition, accusing Musharraf of treason, on Monday. The petition has been filed by the Lahore High Court Bar Association accusing the former military ruler of subverting the Constitution.
The former Army chief returned to Pakistan on March 24 to contest the general elections after spending more than four years in self-imposed exile.
