The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Tuesday rejected the objections against the nomination of Abdul Aleem Khan of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).

ECP rejected the objections filed by Dr Anbar Shehzad against the candidate of PTI for the NA-122 re-polls.

Meanwhile, the ECP also accepted the nomination papers of former National Assembly speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) for the by-election in NA-122 Lahore.

All objections filed by PTI against Ayaz Sadiq’s eligibility were rejected by ECP.

The NA-122 seat was vacated after an election tribunal de-seated Ayaz Sadiq.

The polling for the by-election will be held on October 11.

Furthermore, the scrutiny of nomination papers for PP-147 Lahore has also been completed.

Appeals can be filed against rejection or acceptance of nomination papers till September 17.
