PTI boycotted the votes after PML-N senior leader and Prime Minister’s advisor Rana Sanaullah said on Tuesday that a number of PTI members intended to vote for him in the Punjab Assembly Senate by-election.
In an interview with the media, Rana Sanaullah claimed that ten to twelve PTI members had surreptitiously gotten in touch with him to express their desire to support him.
While expressing gratitude, he urged them to vote in accordance with their party’s platform.
He emphasized that the PTI’s choice to not run for office is indicative of the party’s customary strategy and political culture, characterizing it as combative and intolerant and stemming from the leadership of the party’s founder, Imran Khan.
