PESHAWAR: As the country approaches the general elections, internal rifts have emerged between the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders Taimur Khan Jhagra and Sher Afzal Marwat with the former raising objections over the latter contesting polls from Peshawar.
Jhagra, PTI leader from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, has objected to Marwat’s decision to contest elections, which are slated to take place on February 8 next year, from the NA-32 constituency in Peshawar.
“It would be better if a leader from Peshawar contested from that constituency,” said Jhagra while raising his concerns on the matter, adding that the party will decide where the candidates will contest elections.
Meanwhile, speaking to Geo News, Marwat said that he has no interest in contesting the polls. “The PTI founder has directed me to contest elections from Peshawar,” he added.
Marwat, who has submitted his nomination papers for the NA-32 constituency in Peshawar, said that he will contest elections from Peshawar on the orders of incarcerated PTI founder Imran Khan.
The drama has been written by Imran Nazir and directed by Salim Ghanchi.
