• Imran Khan urged people to vote in the NA-193 Ranjanpur by-election
• He said Mohsin Leghari is the PTI candidate for the by-polls
• He said the PDM is instilling fear to prevent voting for PTI

LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan has urged people to come out and vote in the by-elections in NA-193 Ranjanpur constituency being held on Sunday.

The PTI chief gave a special message to the people of Jampur of district Ranjapur ahead of the by-elections. He said that Sardar Mohsin Leghari is the PTI candidate in the polls.

“PDM candidate is spreading fear in the constituency along with facilitators,” he said, adding that farmers’ crops are being damaged, bogus FIRs are being lodged, and people are being harassed to prevent them from voting.

He said the purpose of all these tactics is to harass the people of Jampur and stop them from voting for the PTI.  He called on the people to come out on Sunday and defeat the shackles of fear. He added that Mohsin Leghari will win the election despite rigging.

It must be mentioned by-election on the NA-193 Rajanpur will be held on Feb 26. The seat fell vacant after the death of PTI MNA Jaffar Leghari.

Imran Khan had earlier decided to contest the by-polls but withdrew his nomination papers over concerns over his disqualification. He was replaced by former provincial finance minister Mohsin Leghari as the candidate for the by-election.

Moshsin Leghari is the nephew and political heir of the late Jaffer Leghari. He also served as finance minister in the PTI’s Punjab government which now stands dissolved.

He will be facing PML-N’s Ammar Awais Leghari, the grandson of former president Farooq Leghari and son of Awais Leghari.

Awais Leghari had criticized Imran Khan for withdrawing his nomination. He claimed that Imran Khan withdrew to avoid losing as his popularity in South Punjab is dwindling.

Leghari stated that Imran’s promise of making the South Punjab province turned out to be bogus as the PTI has been exposed in the region.
