ISLAMABAD: Opposition-backed Sadiq Sajrani on Monday bagged a lion’s share of votes to be elected Senate chairman.

Sajrani pulled 57 votes while Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) candidate Raja Zafarul Haq received 46 votes.

Meanwhile, the vote count for deputy chairman is currently underway.

Sadiq Sanjrani from Chaghi in Balochistan was nominated by Chief Minister Abdul Quddus Bijenzo for the Senate top slot. His candidature was backed by the PPP and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).

Born on April 14, 1978 in Balochistan’s Nok Kundi town, Sanjrani obtained his early education from Chaghi and later received a bachelor’s degree from the University of Balochistan.

Throughout his career, Sanjrani has served many positions including coordinator complaint cell of Prime Minister’s secretariat and member of observatory commission of prime minister in 2009 and was appointed as chief coordinator of PM complaint cell and adviser in 2009. The PPP, PTI and the Balochistan CM reached a consensus on this account after rounds of talks.

Massive blow for PMLN but there surely will be fall out for PTI as well for supporting what will be termed as "PPP candidate" via third party.

Whoops! Big win for opposition. Did they get support from some PMLN MNAs? Or did the opposition have enough votes to get this result themselves?

[RIP Pak LAW]

It's more a victory for Pti in my opinion than ppp. Imran categorically said that he will not accept chairman from ppp hence a neutral one was selected in between ppp and pti though ppp had more voters than pti. Anyways its an embarrassing defeat for pmln lol.

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Senator Saleem Mandviwalla has got the post of Senate deputy chairman.
He got 54. Bhutto zinda hai.
