PESHAWAR:


Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s (K-P) ruling parties Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) have decided to contest local government polls together.



This was decided during a meeting held at K-P Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser’s chamber on Monday. The PTI members in attendance included K-P General Secretary Khalid Masood, Minister for Public Health Engineering Shah Farman, and Minister for Education Muhammad Atif.


JI K-P Ameer Professor Ibrahim, Dr Iqbal Khalil, Mushtaq Ahmed Khan, Minister for Local Government Inayatullah Khan, Minister for Finance Muzaffar Syed and Advocate Bahrullah Kahn also attended the huddle.


Bahrullah told The Express Tribune both parties decided they would contest LG polls from the same platform. However, he said the terms and conditions for the alliance have not been decided yet.


A joint committee of both parties was formed to propose seat adjustments and set terms and conditions for the upcoming polls, added the advocate.
