The PTI announced the award of party tickets for the National Assembly seats on Friday, leaving many constituencies vacant, especially in Central Punjab.

This came on a day when one of its leaders Shafqat Mahmood decided to withdraw his nomination papers. In a post on X, Mahmood announced that he has decided to withdraw from the election and not to become a candidate from any constituency.

The former ruling party has also fielded candidates in the constituencies of Sheikh Rasheed and his nephew Rashid Shafiq in Rawalpindi. Rasheed and Shafique had announced their decision to withdraw their nomination papers from both constituencies shortly before the announcement of the list, which had been approved.

Earlier, the party announced the award of tickets for NA and provincial assembly seats.
