Chitral, May 01 (ANI): A Pakistani court has imposed a lifetime ban on former President Pervez Musharraf from contesting elections, derailing his efforts to regain influence by winning a seat in parliament. It was the first time a court in Pakistan had declared a citizen ineligible from contesting elections for life. The former army chief returned last month after nearly four years of self-imposed exile to contest a May 11 general election, but election officers disqualified him because of court cases pending against him. The High Court in Peshawar rejected Musharraf's appeal against the disqualification. Meanwhile thousands in Chitral in Pakistan took to the streets in support of Musharraf.
