EC rejects PML(Z) documents
ISLAMABAD, Aug 17: The Election Commission on Saturday rejected the papers of Pakistan Muslim League (Ziaul Haq) on technical grounds and declared the party ineligible to contest elections.
This was decided by the Election Commission at a meeting here on Saturday. Chief Election Commissioner Irshad Hasan Khan presided over the meeting.
The EC rejected the party’s documents on the ground that Ejazul Haq was a member of PML(QA) and while formulating new party he did not complete necessary requirements under the PPO 2002.
Ejaz appeared before the commission on Friday night and argued for over one and-a-half hour. The Election Commission gave him full opportunity to present his case.—APP
