Sindh Elections Appellate Tribunal on Saturday rejected a petition against nomination papers of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan to contest for National Assembly's seat from Karachi's constituency NA-243.
Wahab Baloch, a contender from ex-CJP Chaudhry Iftikhar's Pakistan Justice and Democratic Party, had accused Imran Khan of having failed to disclose the sponsors of his foreign trips, information on who bears the expenditure of his children and mentioning his alleged daughter in the nomination papers. He also raised doubts over authentication of Imran's signature on his nomination papers but, all his objections and allegations against Imran's nomination papers were turned down.
The tribunal also issued notices on appeals against the rejection of papers of Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan's Farooq Sattar and the acceptance of former chief minister Murad Ali Shah's nomination papers.
