KARACHI: After the PDM s component parties had jointly taken part in the recent by-polls held across the country, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz is confident that it may gain support of all major political parties, including the PPP, ANP and JUI-F in the upcoming NA-249 by-polls in Karachi.
But after the recent differences in the ranks of the PDM, PML-N leaders are worried that the PPP may not support its candidate, former federal finance minister Miftah Ismail, in the NA-249 by-polls. Balloting will be held on April 29 to elect the public representative of the NA-249. The last NA-249 election had been a close contest, with Vawda securing 35,344 votes to defeat Shahbaz Sharif, the PML-N’s central president and former chief minister Punjab polling 34,626 votes.
