In return, the PML-N will provide a clear win for Jamshed Dasti’s brother in the NA 177 by-elections by withdrawing its candidate from the constituency.
Jamshed Dasti had previously also voted from PML-N’s Nawaz Sharif in the prime minister elections.
The PML-N had contacted Dasti when it was including independent candidates as part of the government after the general elections. The one-time PPP leader had stated that he would support PML-N for all its positive decisions, but will not support anything that went against the people of the nation.
Jamshed Dasti had won the general elections by a majority vote from two constituencies, one of which was NA 177 where now his brother is the candidate in the by-elections.
Jamshed Dasti will now compete against Hina Rabbani Khar’s father Noor Rabbani Khar representing the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) in the NA 177 constituency.

"Jamshed Dasti will now compete against Hina Rabbani Khar’s father Noor Rabbani Khar representing the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) in the NA 177 constituency." you mean his brother will now contest against Khar, right?
"In return, the PML-N will provide a clear win for Jamshed Dasti’s brother in the NA 177 by-elections by withdrawing its candidate from the constituency." I object to that...SC must take notice of that. Let people decide that whether they want to elect his brother or PML(N) candidate. This is open bribery.
