Son of PTI Balochistan chief withdraws in favour of BAP

QUETTA (92 News) - Son of PTI Balochistan chapter chief Sardar Yar Muhammad Rind on Tuesday withdrew his candidature from the Senate elections in favour of the Balochistan Awami Party (BAP).

Announcing the decision, Yar Muhammad Rind said that his son, Sardar Khan Rind has withdrawn his Senate candidature after an impression that it could benefit the opposition parties during the polls.

Sardar Khan Rind has filed his candidature as an independent candidate from Balochistan province on a general seat.

Lauding his decision, Balochistan Chief Minister (CM) Jam Kamal said that the step from the Senate candidate would help in strengthening the coalition government in the province.

“This is a good decision for the coalition government and will help us in contesting the Senate polls in a better way,” he said adding that Sardar Yar Muhammad Rind had never worked for his personal interest.

He further thanked the PTI lawmakers for supporting the BAP candidates. It is pertinent to mention here that opposition parties in Balochistan on Monday demanded at least six Senate seats from the provincial government.
