As Federal Minister Faisal Vawda tendered his resignation from the National Assembly after casting his vote in the Senate election on Wednesday, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has been planning to field its central leader Miftah Ismail from the NA-249 Karachi in the by-polls.
In the 2018 general polls, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf candidate Vawda had defeated PML-N President Shahbaz Sharif from the constituency with a narrow margin.
After Vawda’s resignation, the PML-N is confident to win the constituency easily after gaining support from the Pakistan Democratic Movement’s component parties, particularly the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl and the Awami National Party.
