 from NA-130 Lahore constituency.

Party leader Bilal Yasin confirmed the development two days after he submitted the papers at the ECP on behalf of the PML-N supremo.

The former prime minister filed his nomination to contest polls from the Lahore and Mansehra

 constituencies, the papers for which were scrutinised today. Ahead of the scrutiny, the party tasked its legal team to brace for any likely objection to the supremo's submission.

"By the grace of Allah, Nawaz Sharif's nomination papers were accepted from NA-130," said Yaseen, a senior political leader in the party.

During a presser in Lahore, Yaseen — flanked by the party supremo's lawyer Amjad Parvez — said that Nawaz's papers have been approved without objection.
