Chakwal bi-election

Meanwhile, Pakistan People’s Party has taken back its support for the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf`s candidate in the by-election in PP-23 Chakwal-IV, which is scheduled to be held on April 18.

Speaking to Geo News, PPP Central Information Secretary Chaudhry Manzoor said that the decision to not support PTI was taken after consultation with the local party bearers.

“PTI first requested us for support then levelled baseless allegations. They need to learn political etiquettes and should refrain from politics of blame game,” he said.
