In a setback to bigwigs, Pakistan’s election commission on Tuesday rejected the nomination papers of former PM and PMl-N leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan for the NA-53 constituency of Islamabad.
The nomination papers of Abbasi and his covering candidate Sardar Mehtab Khan for NA-53 were rejected by the returning officer after the candidates failed to fill the affidavit as per the requirements, Dawn reported.
According to the returning officer, Abbasi had not submitted complete tax returns with his documents either.
