Maryam Nawaz blasts after humiliating defeat in Senate Vote
Shares
*ISLAMABAD - PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz wants members of the opposition who did not vote for their candidate Hasil Bizenjo for the seat of Senate chairperson to be “identified, named, shamed and sorted out”.*
Earlier today, the opposition’s no-confidence motion against Senate Chairperson Sadiq Sanjrani was presented in the Senate. Sanjrani retained his seat as head of the Senate after only 50 senators voted against him.
At least 53 votes were needed to de-seat the senator. The opposition, however, fell three votes short.
Sanjrani received 45 votes in his favour while five votes from the opposition were rejected. The reason for rejection is yet to be revealed.
Maryam, however, tweeted that these five votes were cancelled as four of them had a clear pattern of double stamping and one was stamped squarely between both candidates.
