Islamabad [Pakistan], March 13 (ANI): A day after rejecting the victory of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's (PTI) candidate Sadiq Sanjrani as the new chairman of the Senate, Pakistan Opposition parties will approach the court on Saturday to challenge his election, reported Dawn.
"I have consulted the PDM (Pakistan Democratic Movement) leadership, including Maryam Nawaz and Maulana Fazlur Rehman, and have decided to challenge the election of Senate chairman," said Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman.
"In this particular case, our candidate Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani has received 49 votes and government candidate Sadiq Sanjrani got 48. Thus we have won the election of Senate chairman," he said, adding that the intention of the voters (whose votes were rejected) was clear.
