In a surprising turn of events, the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) have decided to withdraw their complaints against each other regarding alleged vote-buying in the NA-127 constituency.
This move signals a potential reconciliation between the two major political rivals ahead of the upcoming general elections.
Key Points:
- Reconciliation was reached after a unanimous decision to withdraw the complaint. Both parties have mutually agreed to withdraw their complaints regarding vote-buying accusations in NA-127.
- Representatives from both sides will formally request the Election Commission of Pakistan to withdraw the complaints and halt proceedings.
- This decision comes after both parties appeared before the district returning officer (DRO) for the second consecutive day on the notice of the ECP.
- Teams comprising five representatives from each party were present, along with legal representatives.
Legal representatives from both sides appeared before District Monitoring Officer of PP-160, Umar Maqbool.
Meanwhile, on the last day of electioneering for political parties, both the PPP and PML-N were mobilized in view of an expected thorny contest in the constituency and organized rallies on behalf of the leaders contesting.
The PPP's rally was led by Sherry Rehman on behalf of Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, while PML-N candidate Attaullah Tarar himself turned out in the field and visited the constituency in the form of a rally.
Supporters of both parties chanted slogans in favour of their respective candidates. The PPP supporters danced to the beat of drums and performed bhangra.
