Candidates of various political parties submitted their nomination papers for the Senate elections on Monday. PML-N’s Ishaq Dar and Zulfiqar Khosa and PML-Q’s Kamil Ali Agha filed their nomination papers. Dar said that his party would not vote for anybody if the PPP changed PM Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani. He said that Gilani was not convicted yet and should write the letter to Swiss courts immediately, adding that the PML-N wanted general elections as early as possible. Kamil thanked his party for giving him a Senate ticket.
He said that the PML-Q always preferred national interest over personal interest and would continue to serve the masses. In Peshawar, ANP’s candidates including its Sindh President Shahi Syed, Baaz Khan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain, Ilyas Bilour and Zahida Khan submitted their nomination papers. All candidates were expected to be elected unopposed due to understanding between all political parties.
