ECP rejects petition seeking removal of Nawaz Sharif’s name from PML-N
ISLAMABAD, (DNA) – The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) announced its reserved verdict against the removal of disqualified former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s name from the party he found, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).
The electoral body had reserved its judgement on the petition on Tuesday after hearing arguments on four separate petitions.
The petitions sought the cancellation of registration of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, however, the electoral body rejected the pleas and did not pas any orders to remove the name of Nawaz Sharif from his party.
The petitions were filed by Pakistan Awami Tehreek’s Khurram Nawaz Gandapur, Abrar Hussain Raza, and others in the pretext of disqualification of Nawaz Sharif as a lawmaker in the Panama Papers case.
The decision comes at a time when the embattled Sharif family is mourning the death of the former first lady, Begum Kulsoom Nawaz who breathed her last in London on Tuesday and would be laid to rest in Pakistan on Friday.
