LAHORE, Jan 23: The Pakistan People's Party is yet to decide which presidential candidate for the Lahore High Court Bar should it support.

At present, party's secretary-general Jehangir Badr is with Ahmad Awais while Punjab president Qasim Zia is supporting Saeeduz Zafar.

Party sources say Ms Benazir Bhutto has directed Mr Badr to coordinate with Khalid Kharal and ring her in the presence of Qasim Zia so that a decision can be taken.

It is said that the PPP secretary-general visited Mr Kharal's residence on Thursday night only to find that the latter was not at home.
