ISLAMABAD: After considerable commotion, three candidates have been finalized for the presidential race as Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) Dr Arif Alvi, Pakistan Peoples Party’s (PPP) Aitzaz Ahsan and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rahman submitted their nomination papers for the presidential election on Monday.
With the deadline, of submitting nomination papers, ending in noon, PTI’s presidential candidate submitted his nomination papers in the Sindh High Court (SHC), whereas, following the row between PPP and PML-N, Aitzaz Ahsan submitted his nomination papers in Islamabad High Court (IHC) as PPP-backed candidate. On the other hand, the grand alliance of opposition parties, excluding PPP, has fielded Maulana Fazlur Rehman, who also submitted his papers in IHC.
The opposition led by Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) remained divided over PPP’s decision to nominate Ahsan for president which will decisively divide the strength of combined opposition.
With a divided opposition, which is otherwise formidable in numbers, the Presidential Election on September 04, will prove a cakewalk for the PTI candidate, Dr. Arif Alvi, as the opposition votes will be divided in two candidates, PPP’s Aitzaz Ahsan and JUI-F chief Fazlur Rahman.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)’s nominee for the office of president Dr. Arif Alvi has said that PTI will win the presidential election with majority and urged the opposition to withdraw the candidate in his favour.
