MARDAN: Naeem Anwar, the tehsil president of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (Mardan chapter), has resigned from his party post as the PML-N leadership has not allotted him party ticket for the upcoming general election.

Talking to Dawn here on Friday, Mr Anwar said that he had applied for the party tickets of PK-59 and NA-21 constituencies to contest the next general elections scheduled to be held on February 8.

He deplored that the party leadership ignored him and awarded the ticket to another party member. Besides, the PML-N leadership asked him to withdraw his nomination papers from NA-21 constituency as the party had decided not to field its candidate on the said seat, he added.
