Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party’s Senior Vice President Shah Mahmood Qureshi has been declared “ineligible” to contest the February 8 general elections from his stronghold Multan, a media report said on Sunday. An appellate election tribunal on Saturday rejected Qureshi’s appeal against the rejection of his nomination papers, The News reported.
While Qureshi was cleared to contest polls from the NA-214 constituency in Sindh’s Umarkot city, the appellate election tribunal turned down his appeal filed against the returning officer’s (RO) decision to reject his nomination papers for two National Assembly and as many Punjab Assembly seats in Multan.
