PPP chairman also submitted his nomination papers for NA-194 Larkana
An objection was filed against the nomination papers of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Wednesday in the NA-127 constituency of Lahore for the upcoming general elections.
The objection noted that the former foreign minister was affiliated with the Pakistan Peoples Party Parliamentarians (PPPP) in his nomination papers while being the chairman of PPP.
Mohammad Ayaz, a resident of Lahore, submitted the objection to the concerned returning officer (RO).
Maintaining that the PPP and the PPPP are two different political parties with different party symbols, Ayaz, in his petition, informed that the ‘arrow’ was the PPP’s official symbol, whereas, the ‘sword’ was the parliamentarians’ symbol.
