PPP, JUI-F likely to contest KP Senate election jointly

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) are likely to contest the upcoming Senate elections in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa jointly.

According to sources, significant progress has been made in talks between PPP and JUI-F leaders, with delegations from both the parties set to finalise the strategy in days to come.

The emerging alliance between PPP and JUI-F could significantly impact the Senate race in KP, especially as political maneuvering intensifies ahead of the polls.

Earlier, JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has expressed a desire for change in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).

Addressing a press conference in Peshawar, he suggested that change should come to the province, specifically from within the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in KP.

He claimed that during JUI-F’s government, there was complete peace and order in the province; and any decision regarding change in KP would be made after consultation within the party.
