Former prime minister Benazir Bhutto on Friday faced a legal challenge to her nomination papers for the January 8 Parliamentary polls, with a rival candidate filing objections with election officials alleging that the PPP leader had been convicted in several corruption cases. Saifullah Abro, Bhutto’s rival from the ruling PML-Q party, challenged her papers and asked election officials to reject them. The EC is expected to give a decision on legal challenge to Bhutto’s nomination papers by December 10.
