PML-N issues NA-125 ticket to Waheed Alam
Pervaiz Malik will be the partys candidate from NA-133
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Taking another u-turn, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leadership on Thursday issued the ticket of NA-125 to Waheed Alam who was earlier to contest the elections from NA-133.
As the political parties are still in confusion over the distribution of party tickets, the PML-N has once again changed the candidates in two important constituencies of provincial capital of Punjab.
Waheed Alam who was earlier to contest the elections from NA-133, will now contest election from NA-125 after the constituency of Maryam Nawaz, daughter of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif was altered from NA-125 to NA-127.
Now Pervaiz Malik will be the party’s candidate from NA-133.
On the other hand, Captain (r) Muhammad Safdar, son-in-law of PML-N supremo sidelined Mehtab Abbasi over ticket allotment and issued party ticket to Murtaza Javed for NA-15 Abbottabad.
