PTI-BACKED EJAZ KHAN SWATI FROM PS-88 JOINS PPP
On the other hand, another newly elected PTI-backed independent candidate from PS-88 in Malir, Ejaz Khan Swati, announced joining the PPP following his win in the general polls.
In a video statement, Swati spoke about his intention to join the PPP for the betterment of the people, his friends and the overall welfare and prosperity of the constituency.
He said his decision to join the party is unconditional, with the sole purpose of serving the people of his constituency.
Swati was elected as an independent candidate with the support of PTI from PS-88 Malir, thereby increasing the number of PPP members in the Sindh Assembly to 86.
In response to Swati's announcement, PTI Karachi's President Khurram Sher Zaman said the party has decided to suspend the politician's membership.
Speaking to Geo News, Zaman said if those who take an oath in the name of Allah are not ours, then they cannot belong to anyone else either. He urged the PPP to refrain from including "such traitors" in its fold.
