Major opposition parties, including the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), Awami National Party (ANP) and Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) of Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao, have expressed surprise on the **mination of Sheikh Rashid by Imran Khan, saying that they were **t taken into confidence before an**uncing the candidate.
Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Syed Khursheed Shah has convened a meeting of the parliamentary leaders of opposition parties for bringing a consensus candidate of the opposition.
Talking to media persons on Sunday, Khursheed Shah said the meeting has been convened to bring a consensus candidate against the PML-N candidate. However, when asked about the PTI’s **mination of Sheikh Rashid, the opposition leader said it was **t proper for the PTI to an**unce his candidate before the opposition meeting. “Whosoever is the candidate from the opposition, he should come with consensus,” he said.
While in a separate press talk, Senator Zahid Khan said the ANP was **t taken into confidence on the **mination of Sheikh Rashid Ahmad as the opposition candidate. “We will support only a consensus candidate of the opposition and if ** consensus was reached, then the ANP will **t be part of the election,” he said.
PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari arrived in Islamabad on Sunday and held a meeting to discuss the current political situation and directed Khursheed Shah to create a consensus among the opposition parties to field a joint candidate to contest the election of the prime minister.
The meeting was attended by Khursheed Shah, Opposition Leader in the Senate Aitzaz Ahsan, PPP Secretary General Syed Nayyer Hussain Bokhari, Senator Farhatullah Babar, former prime minister Raja Parvaiz Ashraf, Sardar Latif Khosa and other leaders.
Meanwhile, Sheikh Rashid acquired **mination papers from the National Assembly Secretariat. Talking to media persons, Sheikh Rashid said he looks forward to the decision of the opposition parties for fielding a joint candidate.
The Pakistan Muslim League (PML-Q) leadership has also accelerated efforts for **mination of a unanimous candidate from the opposition for the ****** of the prime minister. The PML-Q president and former prime minister Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and senior central leader and former deputy prime minister Chaudhry Parvaiz Elahi have contacted different political leaders during which they agreed in principle for putting up a unanimous candidate of the opposition.
Chaudhry Shujaat and Parvaiz Elahi held telephonic conversation with Khursheed Shah, Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami Senator Sirajul Haq and Sheikh Rashid during which they exchanged views in detail about the prevailing political situation and it was agreed that for the ****** of the prime minister the **mination of a unanimous candidate of the opposition against the N-League’s candidate was essential.
