Preparations for the convention went on all night, as PML-N workers danced to the beat of drums in celebration of their leader’s arrival.
The NA-154 constituency in Lodhran fell vacant after the disqualification of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) former general secretary Jahangir Tareen in 2017 by the Supreme Court.
On February 12, PML-N fielded Syed Muhammad Iqbal Shah for the by-poll, while Jahangir’s son Ali Tareen contested from PTI.
PML-N’s Iqbal Shah won with 113,542 votes, while his competitor, Ali Tareen, contesting his first election on his father’s seat, attained 85,933 votes.
During the by-poll days, the district monitoring officer imposed a fine of Rs40, 000 and Rs30,000 on Ali and Iqbal Shah, respectively, for violating the by-election’s code of conduct by engaging in political campaigning after the deadline.
The Election Commission of Pakistan had also issued a notice to both candidates for their violations.
