Tufail Jatt has decided to contest the poll as an independent party after not getting the party ticket. Likewise, three candidates are hoping to get the PML-N ticker from PP-199.

PML-N’s Qasim Nadeem, Malik Amir and Mubashir Hasan will face each other in the upcoming election on PP-199. Likewise. Malik Arshad Khan will face the challenge of former Mayor Asad Khan Baloch.

Earlier on Wednesday, former Federal Minister Daniyal Aziz, who was once considered PML-N stalwart, decided to contest election 2024 as an independent candidate after being denied of the party ticket.

Daniyal Aziz came into limelight after PML-N issued a show-cause notice to him for violating party rules by posting controversial tweets on X, formerly Twitter, and a statement on TV channel holding his own party leader Ahsan Iqbal responsible for hike in prices.

Speaking in ARY News programme “11th Hour”, Daniyal Aziz said that inflation is a big threat to the nation and he and his wife will contest election as independent candidates to fight against the hike in prices.
