ISLAMABAD – The ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Saturday took back ticket given to MPA Abdul Qadir for the Senate elections hours after it released the final list of its candidates.
The decision was taken after Qadir’s nomination received flak from the leaders of the party.
In a tweet, Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Political Communication Shahbaz Gill said that the the Balochistan ticket had now been allotted to Zahoor Agha.
بلوچستان سے سینیٹ کا ٹکٹ قادر صاحب سے واپس لے کر ظہور آغا کو جاری کیا جا رہا ہے۔ کپتان ہمیشہ اپنے پارٹی ورکر کی آواز سنتا ہے۔

He added, “The skipper always listens to his party members”.
Earlier in the day, the PTI issued the final list of 20 candidates after getting approval from Prime Minister Imran Khan.
