ISLAMABAD: Some 196 members of the National Assembly, the Senate and the provincial assemblies have not yet submitted affidavits affirming they do not hold dual nationality, DawnNews reported on Saturday.

According to sources in the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), 10 members of the National Assembly and 56 members of the Senate had still not submitted the affidavits.

Similarly, 34 members of the Punjab Assembly, 84 members of the Sindh Assembly, 10 of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly and two from the Balochistan Assembly had also failed to submit the affidavits.

Sources added that those lawmakers who fail to submit their affidavits by Nov 9 would be considered dual nationals.

The Supreme Court had earlier suspended the membership of several legislators in the dual nationality case.
