LAHORE: Senate Chairman Mir Sadiq Sanjrani is one of the few lucky politicians in the country, who have had a congenial working relationship with multiple political governments of yore.
However, as he is striving to get re-elected on this prized position by defeating Yousaf Raza Gillani. He has somehow fallen out of favour with the two major national political parties led by Nawaz Sharif and Asif Ali Zardari who had once chosen him to serve their governments.
A peek into Sanjrani’s brief yet eventful political innings reveals that in March 2018, he was elected as the eighth chairman of Senate after securing 57 of the 103 polled votes, as both Pakistan Peoples Party and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf had rallied behind this independent candidate’s nomination. Raja Zafarul Haq, the PML-N candidate, could win the nod of only 46 senators. Sanjrani was nominated by the-then Balochistan chief minister, Abdul Qudoos Bizenjo.
