JAMPUR – Polling for the by-election in the National Assembly’s constituency NA-193 Rajanpur is underway on Sunday.
A tough contest is expected between Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) in the by-poll for National Assembly’s seat.
The polling started at 8 am and will continue till 5 pm without any break.
The seat of NA-193 was vacated last year after the death of PTI’s Jaffar Khan Leghari. At least 11 candidates are taking part in the by-poll, with archrivals PML-N and PTI locking horns to bag the most votes.
