LAHORE:
Pakistan Peoples Party Punjab leaders met at the PPP’s Model Town secretariat on Wednesday to discuss the selection of a candidate to field in the NA-108, Mandi Bahauddin, by-elections. Ijaz Ahmed Chaudhry, who had won the election in 2013 as an independent candidate, was de-seated from the constituency for concealing assets and possessing a fake degree. PPP Central Punjab president Manzoor Ahmed Wattoo chaired the meeting. He said they would have to pick a candidate who enjoyed the complete support of PPP’s local and provincial leadership. “Recommendations from the PPP’s local chapter will be given due weight.”
