Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Talal Chaudhry faced on Thursday exclusion from the forthcoming elections on Thursday.

The development came after a ticket was awarded to Malik Nawab Sher Waseer from NA-96 Jaranwala.

Malik Nawab Sher Waseer, previously triumphant on the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf ticket in the 2018 elections,.

In the 2013 elections, Talal Chaudhry secured a seat as a Member of the National Assembly from the same constituency.

Talal Chaudhry encountered legal challenges in Faisalabad due to a disqualification in a contempt of court case.

Meanwhile, expressing his thoughts, Waseer said, "Nawaz Sharif personally conveyed his congratulations and embraced me for securing the party's ticket."

The supporters distributed sweets, endorsing and acknowledging this decision and solidifying their backing for Nawab Sher Waseer's candidature in the upcoming elections.

– No necessity for intra-party elections after PHC's verdict, says Rana Sanaullah –

Separately, PML-N senior leader Rana Sanaullah said on Thursday that there is now no necessity for intra-party elections within political parties following the Peshawar High Court's verdict.

Expressing his thoughts, the former interior minister said: "After the Peshawar High Court (PHC) ruling, the Election Act 2017 has essentially reached its conclusion.".

He insisted on extending the provision of refraining all political parties from conducting intra-party elections.

Highlighting the decision as a "setback" for the legal system and a triumph for those who defy the law, Rana Sanaullah stressed the negative implications.

Sanaullah recalled the events that transpired on May 9, characterising the PHC's verdict as a "morale boost" for the rioters.
