Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Thursday submitted an application to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) challenging Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s (PML-N) decision to appoint Maryam Nawaz Sharif as one of the party’s 16 vice-presidents, Radio Pakistan reported.
As per the restructuring, former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi became PML-N’s senior vice president while former interior minister Ahsan Iqbal became the central general.
The application, filed by Farrukh Habib, Maleeka Bukhari, Kanwal Shauzab and Javera Zafar, stated that the appointment of Maryam Nawaz as Vice President of PML-N is contrary to the constitution.
“PTI will continue its efforts for ensuring the supremacy of the constitution in the country, and it will not let anyone usurp people’s rights,” said Farrukh Habib.
It said that Maryam Nawaz has been declared disqualified for any political or public office.
