PESHAWAR: The nomination papers of two Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf(PTI) leaders for the Senate elections were rejected by the Election Commission of Pakistan(ECP).
ECP Spokesperson said the electoral body rejected the nomination papers of PTI leaders Murad Saeed and Azam Swati for the Senate election from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on general and technocrat seats, respectively.
Similarly, the nomination papers of the leader of Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) Parliamentarians and former chief minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Mahmood Khan have also been rejected.
The ECP has also issued the final list of 30 candidates whose nomination papers have been approved including 16 for general seats, eight for technocrat, and six for women's seats.
The development comes as the ECP is set to hold elections for 48 seats of the upper house on April 2 which were vacated after the expiration of the six-year term of the incumbent senators on March 11.
The members of Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Sindh, and Punjab assemblies would vote to elect members against seven general seats, two women and two seats for technocrats, including Ulema.
