Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has decided to nominate prominent leader Asad Umar to contest on Javed Hashmi’s vacant seat from the NA-48 constituency in Islamabad, as Hashmi decided to keep his National Assembly (NA) seat from Multan.
According to sources, PTI Chairman Imran Khan took the decision, after consulting various party leaders, to name Asad Umar on NA-48.
PTI President Javed Hashmi secured 32,533 votes against 13,861 received by Anjum Aqeel Khan of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).
Asad Umar joined the Imran Khan-led PTI after resigning as chief executive officer (CEO) from Engro Corporation. He has also received Sitara-i-Imtiaz from the government of Pakistan for his achievements in the business world.
