RAWALPINDI:
Proving the old adage – there are no permanent friends or foes in politics – major political players from the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz(PML-N), Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) and Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) are looking for ways to cooperate during the upcoming local government elections.
According to sources, PPP Rawalpindi Chapter and the ruling PML-N are working to make seat adjustments in more than 20 union councils of the city.
In the 2013 general elections, Awami Muslim League’s (AML) Sheikh Rashid Ahmed won from NA-55 with the support of Imran Khan’s PTI and for local government elections, AML and PTI have decided to launch joint candidates.
AML President MNA Sheikh Rashid Ahmed told Dawn that in the garrison city, joint candidates would be fielded by PTI and his party.
