The Sindh High Court has on Thursday allowed former interior minister Zulfiqar Mirza and his wife, former Speaker of the National Assembly (NA), Fahmida Mirza to contest the general elections.
The Court heard the constitutional petitions filed against the rejection of the couple’s nomination papers.
Fahmida Mirza and Zulfiqar Mirza submitted nomination papers from National Assembly Constituency NA 223, while Zulfiqar Mirza also submitted papers from PS 70, 71, and 72.
Both nomination papers were rejected by the returning officers, and an election tribunal accused them of being bank defaulters.
However, the Sindh High Court approved the constitutional petitions of both candidates and allowed them to contest the elections.
