Senate nominations: Six submit papers for Upper House
Six candidates submitted their applications for the Senate polls with the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Thursday.
Waqar Ahmed Khan and his brother Ammar Ahmed Khan, Haji Adeel, Sitara Ayaz, Fozia Fakhruzzaman and Maulana Attaur Rehman filed nomination papers.
There were reports that Gulzar Ahmed Khan, father of Waqar and Ammar, is also running for the polls. However, Waqar denied the speculation while speaking to the media at the ECP premises. Waqar said his family is being blamed for jumping ship while they have always tried to bridge gaps between political circles.
