Rana Sanaullah Eyes Senate Seat as PTI Boycotts By-Election

The upper house seat had fallen vacant following the disqualification of the PTI’s Senator Ijaz Ahmad Chaudhry.

PML-N’s Rana Sanaullah and the PTI’s Salma Ijaz have been in the field for the Senate seat.

Polling will continue without a break until 5:00 pm.

The PTI has announced a boycott of the election as the party’s founder has announced not to contest any by-election.

Deputy Opposition Leader Moin Qureshi has said that the opposition has boycotted the by-election and its members will not cast votes.

PML-N candidate Rana Sanaullah has called the opposition’s behaviour undemocratic and non-political. “The opposition parties had no way out except to escape from the contest,” he said.

“The PTI’s political career has come to an end,” he remarked.
