RAWALPINDI: Chief of Awami Muslim League, Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, on Saturday withdrew his nomination papers for Rawalpindi’s NA-56 in accordance with his pledge of support to Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan.

Khan has assured Rashid for his support for the latter in NA-55 and has also promised to visit the constituency for the election campaign.

The PTI chief is also expected to address a public gathering in NA-55.

Hanif Abbasi of Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) is expected to be Khan’s main contender for the seat.

Earlier on Friday, PTI’s Fayazul Hasan Chohan filed an objection to Abbasi’s nomination, stating that the PML-N leader had not provided the details of his income, assets and expenditures.

Scrutiny of Abbasi’s nomination was then postponed by the presiding officer until saturday
