Asad Umar.
The seat was vacated by PTI President Javed Hashmi last month. PTI Chairman Imran Khan awarded the ticket to Asad Umar during a parliamentary meeting last week.
There were several aspirants for this NA seat, including PTI former women president Fauzia Kasuri. Several other aspirants protested in Islamabad. But later things were smoothly settled by the PTI chairman before leaving for United Kingdom.
Adnan Randhawa, an Islamabad-based leader of PTI who himself was an aspiring candidate from the same constituency, seconded the nomination of Asad Umar. Adnan Randhawa had strongly recommended Asad Umar’s name for NA-48 during a meeting with the party chairman who had expressed his wish to get Asad Umar elected from this constituency.
PTI’s Islamabad-based leadership has already devised a campaign strategy for Asad Umar which will kick start in next few days. Meanwhile, Insaf Razakars, a PTI group of mostly young and educated workers, have assured Asad Umar their fullest support in his campaign.

My vote for this Highly educated and successful person. Best of luck man in Pakistan u never know what police will do in election
What about 'Dua-e-Qunut' test? Has Omer confessed and repented all his fantasies about the wonderful things that enjoys with all sort of women outside his 'Nikah'? has he ben asked and has satisfied the authorities of EC? :)
@Ali:
Lollzzzz.....wait till the government pulls out the scathing dossier of Competition Commission of Pakistan against Asad Umar and how he royally fleeced fertilizer consumer while being the head honcho at Engro ;) Y'all use to beat the same kind of trumpets before May 11th as well but in the end, your cult leader could not even manage to become leader of the opposition.
@Brig Ahmed Gul: meet Shah Mehmood Q today who assured us that there will be seat for Fauzia (besides Advisor on Gendor issues). Told him that PTI needs to do a lot in KPK despite that law and order of this magnitude is fallout of federal policies
PTI should have awarded this seat to Fauzia Kasuri the most popular leader of PTI after Imran Khan. She is highly educated and cultured, caring and humble, her presence in National assembly would have made NA rich. Asad Umer no match for her
Voting for Asad is a great pleasure besides an obligation to vote in a democratic process. In fact, people would happily visit polling stations to use their vote. People would start believing the democracy if they are voting for a candidates like Asad. Best of luck Asad. I wish you an extraordinary and sweeping victory over your opposite candidate.
He is the only person for whom I would feel immense pleasure to vote for. It seems to me that for the first time my vote would be used in the right place. In fact casting a vote would be a great pleasure if candidates like Asad are there.
Would be a tight contest at na48.
@Razi: Same goes to candidates of PMLN, and PPP. There poor performances in Punjab, center and Sindh is not going to help their cases...Ooops sorry these parties don't need to work to get their votes, we all know how they like to win.
PTI not response positive in KPK on issue of Drone Attack, even they don't passed any resolution against Drone Attack or not taken necessary step to stop NATO supply as they claim ever before formation of KPK Govt. I think PTI will face tough time in NA 48.
Good luck.........u r the first reason of my support to PTI.....
Poor performance of KPK is having a very very negative impact on Mr Asad Umar NA-48 bid. I hope in next 30 days KPK government come to senses.
asad umar u will be the winner IA
PTI's real election is in FP where people have given them a mandate for a change. Unless it proves its credibility there, which so far it has failed to do so, PTI will be doomed.
Bravo! May Almighty give him success.
Here we go... INSHA ALLAH another champ is coming to NA... beware the govt.
