Earlier in December, the PTI Chairman directed the PTI Sindh leadership to field ‘strong’ candidates for local government (LG) elections in the province.

Sources privy to the development said that the applications will be received for the polls of 130 provincial assembly seats and 60 National Assembly seats from Sindh next month.

A seven-member board of PTI Sindh led by Ali Zaidi will shortlist the names of the candidates and the final announcement will be made by the PTI central leadership.
