LAHORE – The Chief Organizer and Senior Vice President of the Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N), Maryam Nawaz, has come under scrutiny as objections have been lodged against her nomination papers.
A Returning Officer in Sargodha has received a complaint alleging that Maryam Nawaz’s signatures on the nomination papers for PP-80 are forged. The objection claims discrepancies in her assets details and asserts that she has faced penalties in various cases. Therefore, there is a call to reject Maryam Nawaz’s nomination papers.
Imran Khan’s eligibility Questioned:
In NA-122, objections have been filed against the nomination papers of Imran Khan, the leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). Mian Naseer, a leader from the Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N), raised objections, saying that Imran Khan’s conviction made him ineligible to contest elections.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari faces affiliation concerns:
The Chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, is also under scrutiny. A citizen in Lahore, Muhammad Ayaz, has filed objections against Bilawal Bhutto’s nomination papers for NA-127.
The objection highlights Bilawal Bhutto’s indicated affiliation with both PPP and Pakistan Peoples Parliamentarians, arguing that this violates the Election Act of 2017, which prohibits individuals from being members of more than one party simultaneously. He said the PPPP and PPP are different parties.
The political parties and independent candidates have submitted their nomination papers for upcoming general elections due on February 8, 2024. The scrutiny process is underway at the Election watchdog.
