PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari will stay in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) for Local Bodies (LB) polls phase-II, reported 24NewsHD TV channel quoting sources. 

Bilawal Bhutto will leave for the KP before the Phase-II. Sources said that Bilawal will visit Malakand, Hazara, Bannu and Kohat Division in February.

Last year in December, the Opposition parties, particularly JUI-F, took an unassailable lead in Khyber Pakhtunkwa's ongoing local body elections, leaving PTI behind.

The PTI leaders had accepted their defeat as the ruling party could not grab a single mayor seat out of the four and even the ruling party could win a tehsil in Peshawar out of six tehsils.

The JUI-F's candidates secured the remaining three seats of mayor in Kohat, Bannu and Peshawar, according to unofficial results.
