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.

The petition stated, Maryam Nawaz’s appointment as a PML-N vice-president is in contradiction with the constitution and law of the land.

Marriyum Aurangzeb was retained as secretary information and the party’s spokesperson, while former finance minister Ishaq Dar has been made president of the party’s International Affairs Committee.
