Multan, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 13th Jun, 2018) : Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz's winning candidate from the Lodhran by-election, Pir Iqbal Shah, jumped ship and joined rival Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
FBR begins auditing income of Ali Tareen Shah met former opponent Jahangir Tareen and received a party ticket for the upcoming polls. Earlier, the former MNA parted ways with the PML-N and the Abdul Rehman Khan Kanju group.
He submitted nomination papers from NA-161 as an independent candidate, the same constituency where Shah defeated Ali Tareen in the Lodhran by-elections.
Shah told The Express Tribune that promises were made after the recent victory in Lodhran but to no avail.
Shah further added that his son Amir Iqbal Shah was also neglected by Kanju and the PML-N leadership, which is why they decided to join PTI. Sources reveal that Tareen welcomed Shah in the party after the departure of his son, Ali Tareen, who stepped down to continue his higher studies.
Shah gained popularity during the by-election and after his victory. Tough competition is expected between the PML-N and PTI on two NA seats and three provincial seats in Lodhran.
