BAJAUR: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) provincial senior vice president Shahabuddin Khan resigned from party’s position here on Tuesday.

He said in a statement that after defeat in the Sunday’s by-election, he did not consider him able to remain further on the post of provincial senior vice president of PML-N. “Hence I’m resigning from my office,” he added.

The PML-N provincial leader, who secured only 6,469 votes in the by election for the district’s lone National Assembly seat NA-8, said that he would remain in the party as an ordinary worker.

He had also contested election for provincial assembly seat PK-20 in the Feb 8 general polls and stood third.

However, a source told this scribe that the two-time former lawmaker made the decision after he was disappointed with the central leadership of party for not visiting Bajaur during his electoral campaign.

He said that Mr Khan’s decision would badly affect PML-N in Bajaur tribal district.
