ISLAMABAD, Feb. 21 (Xinhua) -- The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Wednesday disqualified former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to be chief of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), saying that all the decisions made by him as the party chief would also stand null and void.
A three-member Supreme Court bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar gave the decision against the Elections Act 2017 passed by the parliament, which paved the way for Sharif to resume his position as party chief following his disqualification from public office last year.
