| Justice (r) Wajeehuddin Ahmad, the presidential candidate nominated by lawyers, will submit his nomination papers to the Election Commission on September 27. If MusharrafÂ’s nomination papers are accepted by the election commission, retired justice Ahmed will file a writ petition in the Supreme Court against his candidature on September 30, a PML-N leader told Daily Times on Tuesday. MMA, PML-N to propose and second: Mutahidda Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senators will propose and second the nomination, sources said. MMA President Qazi Hussain Ahmad and Secretary General Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman have taken PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif into confidence regarding Justice AhmedÂ’s candidature, the sources said. The All Parties Democratic Movement (APDM) leadership had also agreed on AhmedÂ’s nomination, they added. The APDM legislators will resign from the national and provincial assemblies on September 29 if the Election Commission accepts President General Pervez MusharrafÂ’s nomination papers. However, APDM legislators will not resign from the senate because their senators will propose and second the retired justiceÂ’s nomination papers, sources said. |
