Musharraf out of election race after all nomination papers rejected

PESHAWAR: Former President General (retd) Pervez Musharraf is out of the election race after his nomination papers were rejected from all four constituencies.

Appeals against the acceptance of Pervez Musharraf’s nomination papers for NA-32 (Chitral) were approved by the Election Tribunal in Peshawar.
Earlier on Tuesday the Election Tibunal in Rawalpindi rejected the nomination papers submitted by Musharraf for NA-48 Islamabad and NA-139 Kasur.

Musharraf had appealed against the rejection of his nomination papers from NA-48 by the returning officer.
The Election Tribunal, however, retained the decision of the returning officer and declined Musharraf’s appeal.

The nomination papers of Pervez Musharraf for NA-250 (Karachi) have already been rejected.
