50 PTI MPAs might not vote for Pervaiz Elahi in CM Punjab elections

ISLAMABAD - Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has said that 50 PTI MPAs might not vote for Chaudhary Pervaiz Elahi on the voice of their conscience.

Addressing a press conference on Thursday, he said that some PTI people might say why they should vote for the person who was termed as the biggest dacoit by Imran Khan.

"Imran Khan is the mastermind of the business of horse-trading. A run-off election is going to be held in Punjab. We are contacting everyone which is our right as well," he added.

The minister said that the role of the ECP in the by-election was laudable. "The novel favourite is neither happy after winning the election nor he is happy after losing the election," he maintained.

He said that Imran Khan had filed a petition against his statement to get a space in the media, but the Supreme Court rejected it.

Rana Sanaullah said that the PML-N thinks that Chaudhary Pervaiz Elahi is not capable of becoming the chief minister. "The no-confidence motion against Imran Khan was decision of the PML-N and all allies and it was not under any compulsion. We think it was our right decision," he added.
