ISLAMABAD – Former National Assembly speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq held a meeting with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in Islamabad on Friday and discussed matters pertaining to the upcoming election.
According to reports, Sardar Ayaz Sadiq – who was de-seated by an election tribunal over election irregularities – during the meeting, expressed the confidence that he would make a comeback in reelection at his constituency NA-122. The ruling PML-N has announced to contest elections in NA-122 and NA-154 (Multan) – where tribunals ordered reelections on the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) petitions.
Report said that Ayaz hailed party’s decision to contest by-elections in NA-122 and NA-154 without challenging the tribunal decisions in the Supreme Court. “I was myself eager to contest these elections and hope to secure even more votes than the last election,” he said, according to a report. On the occasion, the prime minister was of the view that politics of protest has failed to deliver anything to masses, affirming that the public’s mandate in 2013 election was ‘genuine’.
