ISLAMABAD: The ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has submitted a petition in the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) against Maryam Nawaz’s appointment as a Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) vice-president, on Thursday.

According to details, the petition was submitted by parliamentary secretary Farrukh Habib, Maleeka Bokhari, Kanwal Shauzab and Javeria Zafar.
