Chaudhry Nisar to contest elections from NA-59

A Reporter Published May 1, 2018

ISLAMABAD: Former interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan announced on Monday that he will be contesting elections for the National Assembly from NA-59 and for the provincial assembly from PP-10 and PP-14, Rawalpindi.

The estranged PML-N leader made the announcement after meeting with a delegation of 27 chairmen and vice-chairmen from his constituency of NA-59, a press release issued by his spokesperson said.

The statement says that the delegation assured Chaudhry Nisar of their support and that of the people in the constituency regardless of the platform on which he decides to contest the elections.

Chaudhry Nisar said he is also considering contesting from NA-63 but will decide after consultation with party leaders in Wah and Taxila.

Chaudry Nisar is completely irrelevant in Pakistan's political scenario. What he can do is call for a press conference and during that press conference call for another press conference. The special thing about both the press conferences will be both will have absolutely no relavent information.

"The statement says that the delegation assured Chaudhry Nisar of their support and that of the people in the constituency regardless of the platform on which he decides to contest the elections." This is how blindly people throw away their precious votes. If this is not ignorance, then I don't know what is. Please understand this, Our votes are more powerful than a nuclear bomb.

@Mahmood iqbal: The question is will he be contesting the elections with his false hairs or without them? May be in one constituency he will wear the false hair and the second he won't. Hence trying his luck from multiple constituencies.
