NA-180 Sanawan is set to witness a distinct competition as two siblings from the renowned Khar family are going head-to-head to win the constituency.
The seat is being contested between Abdul Khaliq Rabbani Khar and Raza Rabbani Khar; the sons of late federal minister Malik Gulam Rabbani Khar and the brothers of former State Minister Hina Rabbani Khar.
Abdul Khaliq Rabbani Khar is contesting the seat on the Pakistan Muslim League (N) ticket, while his younger brother Raza Rabbani Khar is contesting on the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) ticket. Hina is supporting her brother Raza as a candidate from PPP.
A neck-and-neck competition is expected between the candidates from the former ruling parties. In a recent campaign address, Abdul Khaliq did not hold back against his younger brother, claiming that the latter did not take heed of the issues plaguing the constituency, despite his brief stint as a minister in the past.
Malik Raza Rabbani Khar and Hina Rabbani Khar have denounced the charges as false, maintaining that they have kept good contact with masses of the area. They added that the Kot Addu canal was cemented during the PPP's tenure and they are well aware of the problems of the constituency.
