Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Information Secretary Faisal Karim Kundi on Thursday expressed the optimism that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) candidates would win the July 17 by-elections in Punjab on pro-welfare initiatives. Talking to APP, he said the coalition parties had already extended their support towards the PML-N candidates.
He said 10 out of 20 candidates had won the general election 2018 as independent candidates and later joined Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). Those candidates got disenchanted with the PTI due to its high handedness and indifferent attitude towards them, he said, adding that now, they had joined the PML-N and had shown the confidence in its leadership.
Faisal Kundi said the victory in the by-election would further strengthen the provincial government of Hamza Shehbaz in Punjab.—APP
