Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has awarded party ticket to Chaudhry Ashraf Advocate to contest by-elections from NA-48 Islamabad scheduled to be held on August 22. The decision was taken at the meeting of parliamentary board of the PML-N, sources said. Sources claimed that the PML-N leadership had also desired to award the party ticket to former MNA Hanif Abbasi for NA-48 but he declined to contest the bye-election.
It may be noted that Makhdoom Javed Hashmi emerged winner from NA-48 in May 11 general elections but he vacated the seat retaining his National Assembly (NA) seat from Multan. Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) has nominated prominent leader Asad Umar to contest from the NA-48 constituency in Islamabad.
