Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Saturday announced the names of its candidates from tribal areas, who will contest elections from the platform of the party for National Assembly.
After recent merger of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the candidates from tribal areas can no more contest election as independents, as they enjoy all the constitutional rights like people in other parts of the country. Given mainstreaming of tribal areas, the PTI has announced the names of its candidates for the National Assembly seats from the seven tribal agencies, who will contest elections from the platform of the party for the first time in the history of the country.
The PTI candidates who will contest elections from the seven agencies [districts] included Gul Dad Khan, NA-40, Gul Zafar Khan, NA-41, Sajjad Khan, NA-42, Noorul Haq Qadri, NA-43, Syed Iqbal Mian, NA-46, Aurangzeb Khan, NA-48, and Qaisar Jamal, NA-51. Meanwhile, PTI Chairman Imran Khan appointed Babar Awan as senior vice president of the party.
