LAHORE” The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has implemented significant modifications in its strategy for the upcoming General Elections in 2024 as the party has decided to replace candidates in two national and nine provincial constituencies in Karachi.
In NA-232 (Korangi-I), Adeel Ahmed has been nominated by the PTI, taking the place of Aleem Adil Sheikh, who is the brother of the party's Sindh President, Haleem Adil Sheikh. Similarly, Abbas Hussain is now the PTI's candidate for NA-247 (Central-I), replacing Tabish Taufeeq, who was initially announced for the constituency.
The PTI has also adjusted its lineup for eight provincial constituencies in Karachi.
