ECP provides PTI with Nawaz's nomination papers

ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Wednesday provided the nomination papers of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) as requested, Express News reported.

Two PTI lawmakers – Muraad Saeed and Ali Muhammad Khan – had filed a request before the commission on July 9, seeking Nawaz’s disqualification. They had sought copies of the nomination form, claiming that the premier had lied about his past in the form.

After reviewing the request, the ECP gave the copies of the nomination form to PTI.

Every candidate fills in the prescribed application form, called nomination papers, for contesting elections. Candidature of every contestant is evaluated by returning officers under Articles 62 and 63 to decide whether or not they are eligible to contest. If someone is not satisfied with the ROs’ decision, they can approach higher forums.
