PTI candidate Sadiq Sanjrani won another term as the Senate chairman on Friday in a blow to the joint opposition despite the latter having a majority in the Upper House.
In a second win for the ruling coalition, PTI-backed Senator Mirza Mohammad Afridi was elected deputy chairman, beating opposition candidate Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Haideri of the JUI-F.
The opposition challenged the result of the Senate chairman election after it was announced that seven votes cast in favour of opposition candidate Yousuf Raza Gilani were rejected.
