ISLAMABAD:
The election commission on Thursday refused to accept nomination papers of two Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) candidates, contesting for senate seats from Islamabad.
The commission directed Muhammad Omar Mughal and Mazhar Hussain to complete the documentation required for contesting the elections on technocrat and general seats.
Hussain had applied for a technocrat seat but did not submit a certificate of national-level achievement – a requirement under the Senate Elections Act 1995.
Mughal is contesting for general seat in Islamabad.
The commission, meanwhile, accepted nomination papers of two other candidates - Quaid’s Mushahid Hussain Syed and Pakistan Peoples Party’s Osman Saifullah – for Islamabad seats.
