Karachi (HRNW) JI, PTI has approached high court against the approval of Murtaza Wahab’s nomination papers. According to details, following the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) petition, the candidates from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) also challenged the election tribunal’s decision in the high court against the approval of Murtaza Wahab’s nomination papers.
The PTI candidates of UC 3 Keamari and UC 8 Ibrahim Hyderi challenged the approval of Murtaza Wahab’s nomination papers.
Advocate Hasnain Chohan mentioned in the petition that the returning officer (RO) and Election Tribunal ignored the important legal points prior to the approval of the Karachi Mayor’s nomination papers.
“Murtaza Wahab cannot participate in the elections from Keamari and Ibrahim Hyderi as he is a registered voter from the Gizri area of the metropolis,” the lawyer stated.
Earlier in the day, the election tribunals rejected petitions against the approval of the nomination papers of Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab for upcoming LG by-polls.
Election Tribunal Malir rejected objections against approval of nomination papers of Wahab from UC-8 Ibrahim Haidari.
