A sudden surge of party tickets being returned to the PML-N was seen in South Punjab on the last day of allotment of tickets, as five aspiring lawmakers contesting from a total of six national and provincial seats in Rajanpur and Muzaffargarh announced they would contest as independent candidates instead

Interestingly, all of them were allotted the 'jeep' symbol to contest the elections on, but they were not the only ones hoping to ride the jeep to victory in the upcoming elections: Chaudhry Nisar will also be contesting from all four seats in Rawalpindi on the same symbol, it was decided today.
