ET: ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) presidential candidate Mamnoon Hussain’s nomination papers were accepted by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) despite objections raised during scrutiny, reported Express News on Friday.  Two presidential candidates had raised three objections over Mamnoon Hussain’s nomination papers. Zahoor Hussain, who is also contesting the presidential election, raised an objection saying that according to Islamic practices Mamnoon Hussain should have a beard. Zahoor Hussain told the Chief Election Commissioner Fakhruddin G Ibrahim  that Hussain is over the age of 65, which is older than the required age for retirement. Another objection was regarding Hussain’s position in the PML-N, as a presidential candidate is to be free of any party affiliation. A large number of ECP officials and election candidates are in Islamabad as scrutiny of nomination papers continue. More;
