(UTV|COLOMBO) – Pakistan’s Supreme Court has disqualified former prime minister Nawaz Sharif as head of his party.
Mr Sharif was ordered to step down as prime minister last year amid corruption allegations that he denies.
The court ruled that his earlier dismissal from office made him ineligible to lead the PML-N.
All decisions taken by Mr Sharif while head of the party were declared void, including nominations for candidates in Senate elections due in a fortnight.
