LAHORE: An appellate tribunal on Saturday dismissed a petition challenging Maryam Nawaz’s candidature for Punjab Assembly constituency PP-173.
Maryam, the daughter of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, will be contesting the upcoming general election from National Assembly constituencies NA-125 and NA-127 in Lahore, and Punjab Assembly constituency PP-173.
The petitioner had challenged Maryam’s nomination papers for PP-173, contending that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader possessed two CNICs.
The appellate tribunal dismissed the petition stating that it was inadmissible.
Meanwhile, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Dr Yasmin Rashid has challenged the nomination papers of Maryam Nawaz for NA-125 which was under proceeding.
