Tribunal permits Sharifs to contest polls

LAHORE: An election tribunal accepted on Monday Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif’s nomination papers for NA-119 constituency and his brother Shahbaz Sharif’s papers for the NA-161 seat, DawnNews reported.Earlier, Nawaz Sharif’s candidacy papers from NA-120 had been challenged before an election tribunal of the Lahore High Court.




Two appeals were filed pleading that the former prime minister had concealed his assets at the time of filing of nomination papers,  further alleging that Mr Sharif was involved in money laundering worth billions of US dollars.Two citizens Babar Amin and Saeed Iqtidar had also challenged the nomination papers of Shahbaz Sharif from PP-159.  Former prime minister Raja Pervez Ashraf’s nomination papers from NA-51 were also accepted after being rejected earlier over grounds of alleged misuse of funds as well as favouritism.
