PPP’s top leadership has prevented its provincial chapter from attempting to persuade Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to form a non-political alliance in the upcoming Senate election.

PPP Punjab chapter suggested forming an electoral alliance with PTI for women and technocrat seats in Punjab.

The PTI proposed it to the special committee of the PPP after receiving a conditional offer. They asked the PPP to vote for Yasmin Rashid.

Sources told SAMMA that in return, the PPP offered to support Faiza Malik in women’s seats. 

PPP instructed the party leadership in Punjab to form an alliance with the political allies Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) instead of PTI.
