As the 2024 elections approach, a paradigm shift is evident among political parties that were once allies, now turned rivals, vying for supremacy. Both national and regional parties have strategically fielded robust candidates, eyeing victory over more than 15 party leaders.
In the electoral battleground of NA-130, PPP puts forth Iqbal Ahmed Khan against Nawaz Sharif, while PTI counters with Dr. Yasmin Rashid. Additionally, Khaled Yusuf Zai enters the fray representing Khan and Jamaat-e-Islami.
Lahore's NA-123 witnesses a competitive trio with PTI's Afzal Azim Pahat, People's Party's Rana Ziaul Hasan, and Jamaat-e-Islami's Liaqat Baloch challenging Shehbaz Sharif. Meanwhile, Shaheen Safdar of People's Party, supported by PTI, faces off against Sardar Mohammad Dogar.
In Nawab Shah's NA-207, a faceoff ensues between Asif Zardari and PTI's Sher Muhammad Baloch. Larkana's NA-194 features PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto in contention against JUI's Rashid Mehmood Soomro and PTI's Saifullah Abro. Additionally, in NA-127, Bilawal Bhutto faces competition from Attaullah Tarar of Muslim League (N) and PTI's Malik Zaheer Abbas.
The evolving political landscape promises a fiercely contested electoral arena as former allies transform into formidable opponents in the pursuit of power.
