Pakistan : Those with dual nationalities cannot contest as MPs.

Pakistani dual national MPs in 'trouble'

Published on Dec 1, 2012 by PressTVGlobalNews : The dead line for Pakistani MPs to make a legal declaration that they are not dual nationals, has expired. Now the Election Commission is left with no option but to undertake a legal process to disqualify at least 18 MPs who have failed to make legal declaration. Many other MPs are suspected to have made wrong declaration concealing their dual nationalities ----mostly of Britain and the US.

Analysts say, that no one is going to suffer more than that of a British backed ---Karachi based ethnic political party as the Supreme Court and the Election Commission seem determined to disallow the reelection of dual citizens in upcoming national polls.
