PTI leader Ayla Malik disqualifies by Election Tribunal

RAWALPINDI: Election Tribunal on Monday disqualified Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Ayla Malik for holding fake degree.

Earlier, the Rawalpindi Education Board in its reply submitted in the election tribunal has declared the intermediate certificate of PTI leader Ayla Malik fake.

Ayla Maliks’ degree was declared fake as there was no record of it. Ayla had claimed to have cleared her intermediate exams in 1989.

The election tribunal has reserved its verdict on Saturday relating to Ayla Malik’s degree which was challenged by the PML-N’s Obaidullah Shadikhel.

Ayla was expected to contest the by-election from NA-71 (Mianwali) which was a seat vacated by PTI chairman Imran Khan.
