Vawda said he was resigning from the post morally and in line with the orders of the Supreme Court.

“This seat belongs to Imran Khan,” Vawda said in a tweet.

Faisal Vawda was elected as Senator on the PTI ticket in 2018.

Earlier this year, the Supreme Court revoked Vawda’s lifetime disqualification in a dual nationality case, converting it into one-time disqualification.

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) in line with the orders of the Supreme Court, had withdrew the notification of de-seating Vawda from the Senate, and restored his Senate membership recently.

Vawda was ousted from the PTI in October last year over controversial remarks against the party’s long march.
