ISLAMABAD:
Jailed PTI leader Dr Yasmin Rashid has approached the Supreme Court challenging PML-N President Nawaz Sharif’s electoral victory in the 2024 elections.
The appeal filed in the Supreme Court challenges the decision of the electoral tribunal, which rejected his plea against Nawaz’s victory in a Lahore constituency.
He maintains that the court dismissed the petition on technical grounds and failed to properly examine the facts and law. The petition claims that the amendments to Form 45 violate constitutional requirements for electoral transparency.
It further maintains that sending notices to candidates before compiling final results is a legal requirement, but no such notice was issued. The appeal asks the Supreme Court to overturn the election tribunal’s decision and declare Dr Yasmin Rashid the winner.
