ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan has expressed hope that his party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) would easily win the upcoming Senate elections, scheduled to take place on March 3.
He expressed his views while chairing a meeting of government spokespersons today (Tuesday). Matters pertaining to current political situation and the Senate elections were discussed during the meeting.
Speaking on the occasion, PM Imran said that his party will easily win Senate elections as the party has given tickets to the best candidates. “The party has broken the tradition of giving Senate tickets to billionaires,” he claimed.
Commenting over PDM’s proposed long march, the prime minister said that the long march of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) would also fail like its public rallies.
The premier also said that the expenditure of the Prime Minister’s Office was reduced from Rs506 million to Rs243 million during the PTI government’s tenure.
Earlier in the day, the Prime Minister presided over a meeting of the PTI parliamentary board to discuss the award of tickets for the coming Senate election.
According to sources, the board rejected some party leaders’ objections to the award of Senate ticket to Federal Minister for Water Resources Faisal Vawda. Moreover, it upheld the decision of awarding Senate ticket to Saifullah Abro from Sindh.
