The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Wednesday rejected an application seeking to remove the N (which stands for 'Nawaz') from the PML-N's name, along with three others seeking the cancellation of PML-N's registration.

The ECP had reserved its verdict in all four cases on September 10.

The petitions were filed by Khurram Nawaz Gandapur, Abarar Raza, Makhdoom Niaz Inkalabi and Abdul Waheed. The ECP ruled that the party would remain registered as PML-N.
