In preparation for the general elections set for February 8, 2024, former federal minister and leader of the Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP), Humayun Akhtar Khan, submitted his nomination papers on Wednesday.
Nomination papers for candidates seeking to contest for national and provincial assembly seats in the next general elections can be obtained and submitted starting today and continuing through Friday, December 22.
Humayun, appearing in person at the return officer’s office along with his supporters, filed his nomination papers for NA 97 (Faisalabad-III).
After submitting his paperwork, Humayun spoke with the media and stated that the youth of Tandlianwala are “upset” about unemployment.
“We will give young people jobs. There will be a dispensary in every village. “I swear to serve the people,” he said.
The senior politician joined the Jahangir Tareen-led IPP last Saturday, more than six months after he parted ways with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, citing his dissatisfaction with handling the aftermath of the May 9 riots as the primary reason for his departure.
“I have spent a long time with the IPP friends. The higher power has once again united us,” he said while addressing a press conference alongside IPP’s top leadership.
