LAHORE: Incarcerated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) senior leader Dr Yasmin Rashid on Tuesday challenged Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) supremo Nawaz Sharif’s victory in the NA-130 constituency during the February 8 nationwide polls in the election tribunal.

Yasmin Rashid filed a petition in the election tribunal against the former premier through her lawyers Ahmed Awais and Rana Mudassar.

She stated in her petition that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) issued the notification of Nawaz’s victory in violation of the law, reported Geo News.

The PTI politician had contested the general elections 2024 from the NA-130 (Lahore XIV) constituency which she lost against the PML-N’s top leader who secured 171,024 votes while the former came second with 104,485 votes.

However, the PTI leader claimed that she lost the election as results were manipulated in the favour of the PML-N supremo.
