The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Friday provided a copy of the nomination form of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan to Arsalan Iftikhar, son of the former chief justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry.
The document was given to a representative nominated by Arsalan Iftikhar.
In an written application to the ECP secretary, Arsalan had requested that he be given a copy of the PTI chief’s nomination form which the latter had filed when contesting elections for the National Assembly last year.
After examining the nomination form, Arsalan may decide on his future course of action by filing a reference against Imran with the ECP, ultimately seeking his disqualification.
Arsalan intends to seek proceedings for Khan’s disqualification from the National Assembly allegedly for concealing facts about certain aspects of his personal life in the nomination form. The form, already described as a public document by an ECP official, had been placed on the commission’s website to ensure transparency and invite objections to provision of false information or concealment of facts.
