PTI challenges nomination papers of common PDM candidate Gillani

ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Tuesday has challenged the nomination papers of common PDM's candidate Yousaf Raza Gillani submitted for Senate elections.

PTI leader Fareed Rehman has alleged former premier of concealing the facts. "Yousaf Raza Gillani has not mentioned his sentence in contempt of court case in his nomination papers," he added.

The PTI member further said that Gillani doesn’t fulfill the requirement of Article 62 of the Constitution.

Earlier, opposition parties had put forward the name of Yousaf Raza Gillani as a joint candidate of Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) for the Senate polls.

On the other hand, the list of candidates contesting in Senate polls is likely to be published today while the scrutiny of nomination papers will be held on February 17 and 18.
