The Election Tribunal of Sindh High Court heard the appeal against approval of the nomination papers of former Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif from NA-242, in which the petitioner Hasnain Chauhan took the stand that Shehbaz Sharif did not affix a valid affidavit in the papers of NA-242.
The petitioner said that Shahbaz Sharif has made a false statement regarding business in the affidavit and the documents of Shahbaz Sharif should be rejected by invalidating the decision of the RO.
After hearing the arguments of the petitioner, the Election Tribunal rejected his appeal, but the written decision will be issued later.
It should be noted that the Election Tribunal rejected the appeal against the approval of Shahbaz Sharif’s nomination papers from NA-242 constituency of Karachi, while Mustafa Kamal of MQM-Pakistan is also a candidate from the same constituency.
