Nomination papers of Usman Dar’s mother accepted
Declaring the returning officer’s (RO) decision null and void, an appellate election tribunal on Tuesday accepted the nomination papers of Rehana Imtiaz Dar, mother of ex-PTI leader Usman Dar, for the National Assembly (NA) seat (NA-71), Sialkot, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
The tribunal comprised of Justice Shakeel Ahmad.
She is up against her son's longtime rival Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) stalwart Khawaja Muhammad Asif.
Rehana’s papers had earlier been rejected by the returning officer (RO) on the grounds that she had allegedly grabbed 40-marla land through forgery.
The nation will go to polls on February 8, 2024.
الحمداللّہ...حق اور سچ کی فتح ہوئی.
