ISLAMABAD: Muhammad Sadiq Sanjrani and Mirza Muhammad Afridi of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf-led ruling coalition and the joint opposition’s Yusuf Raza Gilani and Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Haideri will be in a poll fight for the slots of Senate chairman and deputy chairman today (Friday).
In terms of numerical strength, the opposition has a clear edge with 52 members, including one belonging to Jamaat-e-Islami on its side over the ruling coalition’s 47 members. However, as the election for the two key slots will be through secret ballot, therefore, surprise results are being anticipated, especially keeping in view the win of Gilani as senator, defeating the government candidate Dr Abdul Hafeez Shaikh in the March 03 Senate elections.
