A Khaliq Qureshi Abbottabad
In the lead-up to the general elections scheduled for February 8, 2024, political tension is escalating in Abbottabad as the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) vie for supremacy. The spotlight is on key constituencies, including NA-17 and NA-16 Abbottabad, where prominent candidates are engaged in fierce competition.
In NA-17 Abbottabad, the PPP has placed its bet on Syed Saleem Shah, who is gaining momentum as a formidable candidate. However, former PTI Member of the National Assembly (MNA) Ali Khan Jadoon has secured the support of influential former KPK Governor Sardar Mehtab Ahmad Khan. Observers predict a close race in this constituency, with both candidates eyeing victory.
The political landscape in NA-16 Abbottabad is no less dynamic, with two high-profile candidates vying for the National Assembly seat. Sardar Mehtab Ahmad Khan, known for his track record of effective governance, is seen as a strong contender.
Meanwhile, Ali Asghar Khan, representing Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf, is confident in his bid to emerge victorious once again, reminiscent of his success in previous elections.
