QUETTA: In a dramatic development, the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI)’s ticket holder for Senate election, Syed Zahoor Agha, withdrew his nomination papers along with three candidates of the Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) on Thursday.
Mr Agha was awarded PTI ticket after the party withdrew its ticket from business tycoon Mohammad Abdul Qadir following strong opposition to his nomination from the Balochistan chapter of the party.
Spokesman for the Balochistan government, Liaquat Shahwani said in his tweet that Mr Agha had withdrawn from the contest in favour of the BAP. He said that BAP President Jam Kamal Alyani had requested the PTI leadership for withdrawing its candidate in favour of his party.
