Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) is eyeing ‘seat adjustment’ with the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) in the general election 2024, ARY News reported on Tuesday, citing sources.
Sources said the PML-Q is considering seat adjustment with the PML-N on more than two National Assembly and Punjab Assembly seats in Gujrat. It emerged that Chaudhry Shafay Hussain wants to contest the election on both MPA seats from Gujrat.
