LAHORE - A close contest is expected between PML-N’s Rana Mubashir Iqbal and PTI’s Zaheer Abbas Khokhar in NA-134 constituency, a blend of posh housing schemes, semi urban and rural areas.
Although 11 candidates are in the race to win confidence of majority vote from NA-134, the real contest is between ticket holders of arch rivals, PML-N and PTI.
Disgruntled PML-N leader Zaeem Hussain Qadri is contesting from this constituency as an independent candidate on the symbol of sunflower, but he is unlikely to cause serious blow to chances of Rana Mubashir Iqbal. Pakistan People’s Party-Parliamentarian’s Sohail Afzal Awan is also unlikely to make any impact in the constituency once considered a stronghold of jiyalas of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.
Aneela Batool of Mutahida Majlis-e-Amal and Irfan Shehky of Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan are also in the run from this constituency.
