’s Banigala mansion if the leadership doesn’t withdraw election tickets from women candidates in the district.

"First our traditions don’t allow the election nomination of women and second the two candidates are not electable and therefore, their tickets should be withdrawn. If the party doesn’t meet our demand, we’ll stage a sit-in outside the Banigala mansion," PTI district vice-president Razaullah Khan told a meeting here.

The meeting was called to discuss the future line of action over the election nominations by the party in Mansehra district’s PK-30 and PK-34 constituencies.

PTI has fielded Maria Fatima in PK-30 and Zahida Sabeel in PK-34.

"Women candidates are unacceptable to workers and if their tickets aren’t withdrawn and aren’t given to winning aspirants, then the party will certainly lose those seats," he said.
