Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Senator Ali Zafar has said on Monday that the party will announce the names of its election candidates in the next 24 hours.
While talking to GEO News, Zafar said that the party has issued confirmation notices to 98 per cent of candidates to contest the upcoming polls, set to take place on February 8, 2024.
“The party will decide the remaining two per cent of election candidates very soon. Approval has been given on who will contest elections on which seat. The candidates will be announced today or tomorrow,” said Senator Zafar, adding that the decision will be announced after the Peshawar High Court (PHC) verdict.
The PTI leader also said that a large number of lawyers are going to take part in the upcoming polls on PTI tickets. However, he didn’t mention an exact number.
The polls are just a month away, however, most political parties have yet to decide their election candidates.
Earlier, a source within the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) told The News that it was expected that the party’s top leadership will award final party tickets on Sunday; however, the announcement got postponed due to seat adjustments with multiple political parties and internal disagreements between PML-N leaders.
