ISLAMABAD:Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Faisal Vawda on Friday challenged his lifelong disqualification in the Supreme Court.
Faisal Vawda filed an appeal before the SC through Advocate Waseem Sajjad after rejection of appeal by the Islamabad High Court (IHC).
Last week, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) disqualified PTI leader Faisal Vawda for life from parliament for submitting a false affidavit regarding his dual citizenship.
Vawda, subsequently approached the IHC, however, his plea seeking the revocation of his lifetime disqualification was dismissed by the court.
In the appeal submitted in the SC, the former senator has prayed upon the apex court to annul the earlier ECP decision and restore his senator-ship.
The appeal stated that the ECP did not have the power to disqualify him for life and that the ECP was not a competent court of law.
