The Sunni Ittehad Council has announced to change its candidate for Punjab Chief Minister’s slot, reported 24NewsHD TV channel Saturday.
Instead of Mian Aslam Iqbal, the Sunni Ittehad Council has named Rana Aftab Khan as its new chief ministerial candidate. Mian Aslam Iqbal was unable to reach Punjab Assembly despite the issuance of protective bail by Peshawar High Court to him and directed the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa inspector general of police to ensure that if Punjab police officials make an attempt to apprehend him in future, they’re subjected to legal action.
Though, Punjab police failed to arrest him but had succeeded in stopping him from entering into Punjab Assembly.
The decision marks a notable shift in the party's strategy and leadership approach as it prepares for the upcoming election.
Rana Aftab Khan's candidacy reflected the party's re-evaluation of its political landscape and aspirations for effective representation in the government.
