The country would witness another big contest in Lahore as the PML-N fielded former minister Attaullah Tarar against Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal-Bhutto Zardari in NA-127, reported the 24NewsHD TV channel.
The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has released the list of its candidates for the National Assembly and Punjab Assembly from Lahore District for the Feb 8 general elections.
Grandson of former president Justice Rafiq Tarar, Attaullah Tarar served as special assistant to Shehbaz Sharif’s 16-moth government in Islamabad. He also remained spokesperson of the Punjab government during Hamza Shehbaz Sharif’s tenure in 2022.
Both Bilawal and Tarar have to face PTI's formidable contestant Malik Zaheer Abbas Khokar in the same constituency which is dominant with PTI supporters.
