LAHORE: PTI candidate for CM Punjab Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi on Friday chaired a meeting of the PML-Q parliamentary party at Punjab Assembly and said that Asif Zardari’s mission has failed, hours after the latter visited his cousin and party chief Chaudhry Shujaat to convince him to support Hamza Shahbaz.
Pervaiz Elahi after arriving at the assembly told media that everything would be clear by 4:00 pm and poked fun at his opponents saying that they prayed all night for an increase in their tally through a miracle.
When asked about Rana Sana Ullah has predicted the absence of 50 PTI MPAs during voting for CM Punjab, he refused to comment on it and said that every attempt to cancel the election of the chief minister will be foiled.
“PML-N’s history is full of Changa Manga-like politics and threatening their opponents however, this time their attempts will not succeed,” Pervaiz Elahi said, adding that Imran Khan and democracy will succeed today.
He further warned the government against violating the apex court’s order to hold the election in a transparent and peaceful manner.
