KARACHI: Sheikh Muhammad Akram of Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) has defeated Maulana Muhammad Ahmad Ludhianvi on NA-89 Jhang 4.

Akram, who is the father of former MNA Sheikh Waqas Akram, secured 74,324 votes. Akram’s son had earlier withdrawn nomination papers in favour of his father.

Ludhianvi, who is also the chief of Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat (ASWJ), managed to secure 71,598 votes.

NA-89 has long been an ASWJ hub. In 1988, when it was known as Sipah-i-Sahaba, its founder Haq Nawaz Jhangvi won 39,000 votes at NA-89, but lost out to Begum Abida Hussain.
