KHAIRPUR, Feb 17: People's Party Parliamentarians MNA Syed Fazal Shah Jilani has said that party workers will be given preference for awarding tickets in the local bodies' elections.

Speaking at a party workers' gathering in Sobhodero on Thursday, he said those who changed their loyalties would not be accepted in the party. He said such elements after falling prey to lotacracy could not achieve any political position.
