PTI to kick off Punjab election campaign from tomorrow

LAHORE: The PTI will now start its full-fledged Punjab election campaign from Tuesday (tomorrow).

The change of schedule has been linked to the party’s Foundation Day (April 25). PTI Chairman Imran Khan will address the party workers tomorrow.

PTI Secretary General and former federal minister Asad Umar on Sunday announced that the party would launch its election campaign for Punjab elections from today (Monday).

“The PTI will officially launch its election campaign from tomorrow. They (PDM) may not be ready but we are ready,” the PTI leader said on Twitter.

The Imran-led party finalised a list of 297 candidates earlier this week for the elections after PTI Chairman Imran Khan interviewed all party candidates in person to uphold merit in awarding party tickets.

The former premier — who was ousted in April last year via a no-confidence motion — held one-on-one interviews with all candidates from April 6 to April 18 to select nominees.
