Pervez MusharrafFormer President General (retd) Pervez Musharraf has been ruled out of the contention of general elections after his nomination papers were rejected from all four constituencies.

The Election Tribunal in Peshawar on Tuesday approved the appeal against the acceptance of his candidacy from NA-32 Chitral.

Earlier, on the same day, the Election Tibunal in Rawalpindi had rejected his nomination papers for NA-139 Kasur and NA-48 Islamabad.

The former military dictator had appealed against the dismissal of his nomination papers from NA-48 by the returning officer. The Election Tribunal, however, upheld returning officer’s decision and dismissed his appeal.

Musharraf’s candidature for NA-250 Karachi has already been rejected. His lawyers said that he is planning to file an appeal with the Supreme Court.
