KHANEWAL (Dunya News) – Independent successful candidate from Khanewal Fakhar Imam has joined Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
According to details, the decision was taken during a meeting with Imran Khan at Bani Gala.
Earlier, in a major blow to Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz’s (PML-N) efforts aimed at forming government in Punjab, four independent lawmakers including Kabirwala’s Hussain Gardezi, Layyah’s Syed Rafaqat Hussain Shah and Bashir Randhawa and D.G. Khan’s Hameed Pitafi had joined PTI, strengthening position of cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan’s party in Punjab.
At present, PML-N leads battleground of Punjab with 129 seats followed by PTI with 123 seats. To form government, a party needs support of 149 lawmakers.
Independent candidates—with 29 seats in the provincial assembly—remain vital for both parties to form government. PML-Q is on fourth spot with seven lawmakers while Bilawal-led Pakistan Peoples Party has won just six seats and is on fifth support.
