Pakistan’s former military ruler Pervez Musharraf was on Tuesday barred from running for parliament in the only seat he had been approved to contest, his lawyer said.
“Yes, his paper has been rejected by the high court. We will file an appeal in the Supreme Court,” Musharraf’s lawyer Ahmed Raza Kasuri told AFP.
The Supreme Court is hearing a separate petition from lawyers demanding that Musharraf, who ruled Pakistan from 1999-2008, face trial for treason.
