PESHAWAR: Opposition Leader in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly, Dr. Ibadullah, has claimed that the united opposition is all set to give a tough time to the provincial government in the upcoming Senate elections. He asserted that the opposition will win at least 50% of the seats.
Speaking to Media, Dr. Ibadullah revealed that several Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) members are deeply unhappy with their party and are secretly reaching out to the opposition.
According to him, “PTI members themselves tell us to rescue them from this suffering.”
Dr. Ibadullah strongly rejected rumors that the opposition was engaging in secret deals or political bargaining. He accused certain elements of spreading baseless rumors to inflate their political importance.
United Opposition Finalizes Strategy for 5 Key Senate Seats
The united opposition has finalized its strategy for the Senate elections in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. According to insider sources, the plan includes securing three general seats, one technocrat seat, and one reserved seat for women.
The opposition alliance has decided to back PML-N’s Ishtiaq Amir Muqam, JUI-F’s Maulana Talha Mehmood, and Maulana Atta-ul-Haq Dervish for the three general seats. A vote distribution formula has been agreed upon to ensure their victory.
For the technocrat seat, the opposition will fully support JUI-F’s Dilawar Khan, while PPP’s Rubina Khalid will be the united candidate for the reserved women’s seat. All parties in the alliance have agreed on her nomination.
