Incarcerated PTI President Parvez Elahi on Thursday signed nomination papers for by-election from PP-32, Gujrat, during his appearance before a special court (central-I) in a money laundering case by the FIA.

The FIA officials brought Mr Elahi from Adiala jail to Lahore for the hearing of the case.

A lawyer for the PTI leader requested the court to allow his client to sign the nomination papers for upcoming by-poll on the Punjab Assembly seat, which fell vacant after winning candidate Chaudhry Salik Hussain decided to retain his National Assembly seat.
