In February, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf had retracted the Senate ticket from Qadir following mounting pressure from within the party.
Qadir was born and brought up in Quetta, and had his business in Balochistan’s capital as well.
He had participated in PTI’s 2012 and 2013 rallies, where he also provided logistic support to the party.
