During the meeting, Najmuddin Khan informed them that the central leadership had decided to allot the ticket for the National Assembly seat (NA-32) to Mohammad Hakeem Advocate (general secretary of PPP Chitral) and for the provincial assembly of PK-89 lower Chitral to former provincial minister Salim Khan, who is also the president PPP Chitral.
For PF-90 upper Chitral the ticket would be given to Syed Sardar Hussain, former UC Nazim. They said senior party workers rejected all of these three candidates. They gave the deadline of 48 hours to the central leadership to review their decision.

PPP k Naraz Jialo; Na Insafi K khatime k liye MQM me Shamil Ho jao.
One of the three factors dimming the chances of Musharraf’s victory from Chitral as predicted by Dr Faizi is gone. Sartaj Aziz was looking for a ticket from the PPP but after denial, he along with his friends has resigned from the PPP. Can Dr Faizi comment on it now.
