LAHORE
\nThe Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has announced its decision to contest the upcoming by-election for the National Assembly seat NA-129, which fell vacant after the passing of senior politician Mian Azhar.
\nIn a phone conversation with Dunya News, PPP Secretary General Nayyar Bukhari made it clear that his party is in no mood to sit this one out.
\n\u201cThere\u2019s no deal with PML-N that stops us from entering the race,\u201d he stated, putting to rest speculations of behind-the-scenes seat adjustments.
\nBukhari shared that PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto is currently out of the country, but consultations will be held with him today.
\n\u201cAfter discussing the matter with Bilawal, we\u2019ll soon announce the date for accepting applications from potential candidates,\u201d he added.
\nHe further said the party is gearing up to complete all internal processes necessary for contesting the by-election in NA-129. \u201cWe\u2019re getting our ducks in a row and will go all out in this contest,\u201d he said.
\nIt\u2019s worth noting that in the last general elections, PPP\u2019s candidate from this constituency was Aurangzeb Burki, who lost to Mian Azhar. This time, the PPP seems ready to pull out all the stops and put up a strong fight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
