PESHAWAR: The Election Tribunal has issued a notice to former President Pervez Musharraf for April 16 over appeals against approval of his nomination papers for NA-32 (Chitral).
The court while hearing the petitions issued notice the former military ruler and directed him to submit reply over the objection.
The retired general returned to Pakistan from four years of self-imposed exile last month vowing to run for parliament in the May 11 general election to “save” the troubled nuclear-armed state.
But his nomination papers were rejected in three of the four constituencies he planned to contest — running in multiple seats is not unusual in Pakistan — and he a number of other legal cases. He has been bailed over the 2007 killing of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and a Baloch rebel leader in 2006, and for sacking and arresting judges in 2007.
