PML-N’s Hafiz Nauman to contest NA-129 by-polls  in Lahore

Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) awarded a ticket to Hafiz Mohammad Nauman, who will contest in the by-elections in NA-129 from Lahore, and Ali Haider Noor Khan Niazi from PP-87 Mianwali, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Tuesday.

Hafiz Mian Nouman was the runner-up in NA-129, securing over 71,000 votes against veteran politician Mian Muhammad Azhar's tally of over 103,000 votes in the 2024 elections.

Given PML-N's tendency to rotate leaders in Lahore, long considered a party stronghold, the outcome is unlikely to spring major surprises.

Earlier, PML-N awarded a ticket to Rana Sanaullah, who will participate in the Senate elections on the Punjab Assembly General Seat.

The seat was declared following the disqualification of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Ejaz Chaudhary.

The elections for the Senate seat will be held on September 9, 2015.
