Rather says a lot about other parties. All the carpet rolling and jashan over a London choor coming back and it's biryani plate family dynasty ghulam fans dancing on the street just to beg other parties by heavily bribing them to get seats, it's Pakistan afterall and PTI representatives aren't Imran Khan and have a price as well. It rather speaks volume about this one man who among all the trash was the only honest hard working leader who actually wanted Pakistan and Pakistanis to progress. Pakistan has lost a gem of a Leader, no wonder country's standing, projection and reputation have all since been sliding oneway

 

[BouncerGuy]

Imran Khan has been sidelined according to some plan they wanted to execute but in the process, they forgot about the real power, The PEOPLE OF PAKISTAN, and their plan seems to be failing.

Pervez Khattak on Saturday stepped down as chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Parliamentarian (PTIP) days after his party showed unimpressive performance in general elections 2024.

In his resignation letter, the former defence minister said he was resigning from the position due to health issues. He also resigned from the membership of the party.

It is recalled that Khattak suffered defeat in NA-33 Nowshera constituency, which was considered his stronghold.

Provision results showed the PTI-backed independent candidate Shahid Ahad Khattak defeated him by securing 90,145 votes. Mr Khattak had bagged 25,258 in the polls.

Earlier this week, Jahangir Khan Tareen announced his resignation from the position of chairman of the Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP).

He had announced his decision on social media platform X, stating: “I would like to thank everyone who supported me in this election and want to offer my congratulations to my opponents. I have immense respect for the will of the people of Pakistan. Therefore, I have decided to resign from my position as Chairman IPP and step away from politics altogether”.

“My gratitude to all the members of IPP. I wish them the absolute best. By the Grace of Allah, I will continue to serve my country to the best of my ability in a private capacity,” Tareen had said.

Senate elections on 48 seats to be held on April 2​

ISLAMABAD: In order to fill 48 vacant seats, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) Monday announced holding the Senate elections on April 2.

Fifty-two seats in the upper house of parliament will fall vacant after the expiration of the 6-year term of the incumbent Senators on Tuesday. The elections, however, would be held to elect 48 senators as 4 reserved seats for the erstwhile Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) had been abolished after the 25th Constitutional amendment.

The electoral watchdog said that an official schedule of the elections would be issued on March 14.

Polling would be held to elect members against seven general seats, two women, two seats for technocrats, including Ulema and one seat for non-Muslims from Sindh and Punjab.

In addition to this, lawmakers from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Balochistan would elect members against seven general seats, two women and two seats for technocrats, including Ulema.

Members of the National Assembly will elect one general seat and one seat for technocrats, including Ulema from the federal capital, it added.

A day earlier, the ECP appointed returning officers (ROs) in Islamabad and the four provinces for the conduct of the Senate election.

According to a notification issued by the election watchdog on Sunday, ECP Director General Training Saeed Gul will be the Returning Officer (RO) in the federal capital, whereas provincial election commissioners Aijaz Anwar Chohan, Sharifullah, Shamshad Khan, and Muhammad Farid Afridi will be returning officers in Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan, respectively.

I hope these Senate elections will not be as controversial as the general election.
