On the third day of the scrutiny process, objections were raised against Maryam Nawaz and Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s nomination papers. Later, protests were also lodged against Imran Khan’s nomination documents.
In the Lahore NA-122 constituency, Mian Naseer, a candidate for the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), filed an objection against Imran Khan’s papers. Naseer questions Imran Khan’s candidacy by arguing that he is ineligible to run for office because he is a convicted felon.

A Sargodha citizen filed a petition against Maryam Nawaz in a different case, claiming that the candidate’s signature on the paperwork she submitted for PP-80 was falsified. The petitioner contends that Maryam Nawaz’s nomination papers ought to be denied, citing her prior convictions.
Earlier, a citizen from Lahore’s Constituency NA-127 raised objections against Bilawal Bhutto’s nomination papers. The petition asserts that Bilawal Bhutto indicated his affiliation with PPP Parliamentarians, while distinguishing between PPP and PPP Parliamentarians as separate political entities. The petitioner emphasizes that Bilawal serves as the Chairman of PPP, whereas Asif Ali Zardari holds the position of President of People’s Party Parliamentarians.
