Dasti on Friday announced that he was leaving the PPP and would contest the upcoming polls as an independent candidate.
The PPP MNA had been elected from the Muzaffargarh NA-178 constituency in the 2008 elections and later through by-elections.
Dasti had resigned from the parliament as a six member bench of the Supreme Court heard a court case about his religious education certificate being fake, and thus being ineligible to be elected.
