The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has accepted the nomination papers of ex-Prime Minister’s wife, Kulsoom Nawaz, who departed for London for medical checkup.
The papers were accepted on last day for completion of scrutiny of the candidates for NA-120 by-election next month.
Kulsoom Nawaz left for London via PK757 flight. She will undergo a medical checkup there and will return to Lahore on September 23, local media reported.
Her lawyer appeared before the NA-120 returning officer instead.
Earlier, her papers were challenged by Awami Tehreek’s Ishtiaq Chaudhry, who filed the objections with the returning officer claiming that though Kulsoom disclosed her Iqama [foreign work contract] in the nomination papers, she failed to disclose the salary received through the contract.
Kulsoom also failed to show her position as deputy chairperson in the Iqama, according to Chaudhry.
