Both the leaders submitted that Asif Ali Zardari didn’t provide details pertaining to ownership of an apartment in New York City, United States, in the nomination papers filed ahead of the general elections. They claimed that Zardari also failed to disclose two bulletproof vehicles which according to them is violation of Article 62(f)(i) of the Constitution and Section 231 of the Election Act, 2017.
Besides, the petitioners said that Zardari occupies more than one office – apart from co-chairing PPP, he is also president of Pakistan Peoples Party Parliamentarians (PPPP) which is violation of Article 63 (a) of the Constitution.
