Ahsan Iqbal hopeful to get complete support from PDM in by-elections

On Saturday, PML-N secretary-general Ahsan Iqbal said that the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) would contest by-elections jointly.

According to the details, Ahsan Iqbal expressed his high hopes while speaking to media in Lahore that PDM’s member parties would give “complete support” to PML-N during by-elections.

“We have decided not to field a candidate in Sindh for by-elections on seats that were won by the PPP,” he added.

Earlier, PDM had decided to take part in the by-polls but a decision related to the Senate elections would be taken later.
