Senate Elections: ECP rejects nomination papers of Murad Saeed, Azam Swati and Mahmood Khan from KP

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) Wednesday rejected the nomination papers of senior Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) leaders Murad Saeed and Azam Swati — party’s nominees from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on general and technocrat seats, respectively — for the upcoming Senate elections.

Furthermore, the ECP has also rejected Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf-Parliamentarians (PTI-P) leader Mahmood Khan’s nomination papers.

As per the final list of candidates issued by the ECP, nomination papers for 30 candidates from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have been approved for the Senate polls of which 16 are for general seats, eight for technocrat and six for women’s seats.

The development comes as the Election Commission of Pakistan 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.
