On September 11, the contest would be between first-time contestant, PTI’s Mehr Bano Qureshi, who is Zain Qureshi’s sister, and Musa Gillani from the PPP.
A third candidate in the race is Tahir Ahmed from the right-wing Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan.
As of now, both the PTI and the PPP candidates are engaged in a vigorous electoral campaign.
For Mehr Bano Qureshi, her father, Shah Mehmood Qureshi, and brother, Zain Qureshi, are conducting corner meetings and are asking for votes moving door-to-door. Mehr Bano has confined herself to mostly addressing women-only conventions.
On the other side, Gillani has the support of his brothers and his father, Yusuf Raza Gillani. Abdul Ghaffar Dogar of the Pakistan Muslim League-N is also going on the stump for Gillani’s son.
It is important to mention here that 71,480 new voters have been added to the constituency since 2018.
