ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan appeared before the Islamabad election tribunal on Wednesday to fill clause-N of the affidavit submitted with his nomination papers for the capital’s NA-53 constituency.
Returning officer (RO) Additional District and Sessions Judge Mohammad Adnan Khan had rejected Imran’s nomination papers last week, along with those of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz candidates Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Sardar Mehtab Abbasi and PTI’s disgruntled leader Ayesha Gulalai for failing to fill clause-N of the affidavit in which they were required to mention the “contribution” to their respective constituencies during their previous tenure as lawmakers.
Since then, the tribunal has cleared Shahid Khaqan, Sardar Mehtab and Gulalai.
The PTI chairman had filed an appeal on June 20 against the rejection of his candidacy. In the appeal, Imran requested the tribunal to overrule the RO’s decision to reject his nomination papers.
Appearing before the tribunal today, the PTI chairman filled clause-N, stating that he set up the Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospital, established Namal College, and made the nation aware to struggle for its constitutional rights.
Imran left the Islamabad High Court premises, where the tribunal is located, after filling the form.
The PTI chief has again been summoned in Peshawar today after he failed to appear before the election tribunal yesterday for the hearing of an appeal against the approval of his nomination papers from NA-35, Bannu.
