On Tuesday, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) had challenged the acceptance of nomination papers of former premier Yousaf Raza Gillani for Senate elections.

It is pertinent to mention here that Yousaf Raza Gillani is the joint candidate of Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) in the upcoming Senate elections.
