PESHAWAR: The Awami National Party (ANP) Tuesday parted ways with the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), a conglomerate of the opposition parties, in protest against a show-cause notice issued to it.
Addressing a hurriedly-called news conference at the party’s headquarters, Bacha Khan Markaz, ANP Senior Vice-President Ameer Haider Khan Hoti said the show-cause notice issued to the ANP by the PDM leadership had been an attempt to damage the party’s reputation and its internal organisational structure. “A show-cause notice is issued within a political party and only ANP Central President Asfandyar Wali Khan can issue show-cause to any member or leader of the party for violating the party discipline,” he argued.

Islamabad [Pakistan], March 13 (ANI): A day after rejecting the victory of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf s (PTI) candidate Sadiq Sanjrani as the new chairman of the Senate, Pakistan Opposition parties will approach the court on Saturday to challenge his election, reported Dawn. I have consulted the PDM (Pakistan Democratic Movement) leadership, including Maryam Nawaz and Maulana Fazlur Rehman, and have decided to challenge the election of Senate chairman, said Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman. In this particular case, our candidate Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani has received 49 votes and government candidate Sadiq Sanjrani got 48. Thus we have won the election of Senate chairman, he said, adding that the intention of the voters (whose votes were rejected) was clear.

Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) – the 11-party opposition alliance – rejected the result of Senate chairman election after their candidate Yousuf Raza Gilani lost the closely-contested battle against the ruling coalition’s Sadiq Sanjrani on Friday.
98 senators from the upper house exercised their right to vote today. Sanjrani, the PTI-backed candidate, received 48 votes while his opponent Gilani could only manage 42. Seven votes were rejected.
Addressing a press conference after the announcement of the result, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Ahsan Iqbal claimed that Gilani in fact bagged 49 votes, not 42, adding the seven rejected votes.
