PTI leaders Parvez Elahi, Sanam Javaid and Shaukat Basra have been allowed to contest the Feb 8 general elections!

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) secured major relief from the Supreme Court (SC) on Friday as five of its candidates were granted permission to contest the upcoming February 8 elections.

Besides Parvez Elahi, Sanam Javaid and Shaukat Basra, the Supreme Court approved appeals of PTI candidates Umer Aslam, and Major (retd) Tahir Sadiq against returning officer decisions to reject their nomination papers from different constituencies.

Pervez Elahi has been allowed to contest the general election from the PP-32 constituency of Gujarat district.

PTI candidates Tahir Sadiq and Omer Aslam Awan were allowed by the apex court to contest elections from NA- 49 (Attock) and NA-87 (Khushab) constituencies, respectively.

Sanam Javed Khan has been allowed to contest polls from NA-119, NA-120, and PP-125 while Shaukat Basra was cleared to contest elections from NA-160 (Bahawalnagar).

A three-member bench of the Supreme Court comprising Justice Mansoor Ali Shah, Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhail and Justice Athar Minallah heard PTI President Pervez Elahi’s plea.

Advocate Faisal Siddiqui represented Elahi in the case.
