Hammad heeds Imran's call to serve in federation, pulls out of Punjab Assembly race

Lahore: In a recent development, Hamad Azhar, the central leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has announced that he has not received a ticket to contest in the upcoming Punjab Assembly elections.

According to Azhar, PTI's Chairman, Imran Khan, had informed him a few days ago that the biggest challenge Pakistan is facing currently is on the economic front, and that he needs Azhar in the federation. As a result, Azhar withdrew his nomination papers from the provincial constituencies.

It is important to note that PTI had recently announced the names of its candidates for 297 seats in the Punjab Assembly, and Azhar's name was not included in the list, along with other prominent names such as Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Fawad Chaudhry, and Shahbaz Gill.

This news has garnered significant attention, with many speculating on the reasons behind Azhar's exclusion from the list and its potential impact on PTI's performance in the upcoming elections. The situation is currently developing, and more information is expected to be released in the coming days.
