ECP disqualifies PTI Senator Faisal Vawda in dual nationality case
#FaisalVawda
Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Wednesday has disqualified Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Faisal Vawda over concealing his dual nationality at the time of participating in the National Assembly election on a Karachi seat during 2018 General Elections.
A three-member bench headed by Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikandar Sultan Raja conducted hearing on the matter and announced its reserved verdict.
It is to be mentioned here that Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) lawmaker Qadir Khan Mandokhail, Mian Faisal and Mian Asif Mehmood had filed a plea against Vawda, stating that he is no longer Sadiq and Ameen (truthful and trustworthy) as he concealed his dual citizenship and submitted a false affidavit in the ECP with his nomination papers.
On January 20, an investigative report revealed that Faisal Vawda had committed perjury by falsely declaring in an oath to the ECP that he did not hold any foreign nationality.
Vawda was in possession of a United States passport at the time he filed his nomination papers on June 11, 2018. The minister remained an American national even at the time the scrutiny of his nomination papers was completed, the report found.
