Barrister Mohammad Ali Saif said that PTI leader Asad Qaiser’s brother Aqibullah had been nominated by the party for the speaker of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly.

Speaking alongside Qaiser after meeting PTI founder Imran Khan, Saif relayed a message from the ex-premier. “He also gave a special message with regards to America […] the US had not played their role accordingly […] Imran has a message that the US has an opportunity […] and should keep an eye on rigging in the elections.”

“If they are champions of democracy, then they should voice it if they think the elections in Pakistan were not fair,” he said.
