According to Naeem-ur-Rehman, the PTI-backed candidate Safi Bari had won from this constituency. The JI leader added that he has all the form 45s, which indicates Bari won from the constituency.
He announced to vacate the seat in a presser on Monday morning. “I am being given PS129 in charity while this seat has been won by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf candidate Saif Bari. I did not win this seat. My 26000 votes were reduced to 30 thousand. I return this seat, don’t want a charity seat,” said Jamaat-e-Islami Karachi Ameer Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman.
