JHANG, Dec 14: Dr Abu-ul-Hasan Ansari, a Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) candidate in NA-89 (Jhang city), on Friday quit his party and joined the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N). As a result, he was awarded PML-N ticket for NA-89 and PP-77.
Ansari, who joined PPP just a month ago, is a close aide of Begum Abida Hussain and he was awarded PPP ticket on her recommendation.
Defending his decision to change the party, Ansari said he left PPP because he could not defend Benazir Bhutto’s stance on deposed judges. He said people of his constituency forced him to quit PPP. He praised Nawaz Sharif for his stance on judiciary.
