Islamabad, (Pakistan Point News - 13th Feb, 2018) : The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Tuesday rejected the nomination papers of two each members of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) and Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP). The MQM nominees whose forms were rejected included MQM's Amir Waliuddin Chishti on general category and former Citizen-Police Liaison Committee (CPLC) chairman Ahmed Chinoy. Chishti's forms were rejected over being a defaulter from bank while Chinoy failed to produce the record of 16-year education.
The forms of the PSP nominees Hassan Sabir and Sofia Saeed Shah were rejected as their proposers/seconders subscribed more than one nomination paper which is not permissible under the Elections Act, 2017. On Monday, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Monday rejected former Finance Minister Ishaq Dar's nomination papers for the Senate elections. Ishaq Dar, a relative of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and sitting senator, had applied on a technocrat seat from the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz. The returning officer rejected his nomination papers during scrutiny today as the counsel for a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf candidate objected that Dar had not submitted an authentic declaration of his assets.
