Federal Minister for Interior Rana Sanaullah said Thursday that as many as 50 Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lawmakers can vote for PML-N’s Hamza Shehbaz tomorrow (Friday) as Punjab Chief Minister candidate in a run-off election.
Addressing a press conference here in Islamabad, the Interior Minister said: “Not five, but 50 PTI MPAs can either vote against him [Hamza] or stay away from casting their votes.”
The minister pointed out that any of the MPAs not showing up for the elections would be due to “Elahi’s incompetence”. Rana Sanaullah said that PML-N will exercise all political and legal options to win Punjab CM re-election.
“Imran Khan bought loyalties of MPAs by using plane after the general election of 2018, but it would not be called horse trading as per Khan’s reasoning,” added Sanaullah.
“The ones in PTI, who still have a conscience, will not vote for Elahi,” the interior minister said.
