UBG’s Abdul Rauf Mukhtar and BMP’s Khawaja Shahzeb Akram are among the senior vice-presidential candidates.
Adeel Siddiqui from the Sindh Chamber seat and Farzana Ali Baloch from the Women Chamber seat have already been elected unopposed in the election.
It may be recalled that a day before the elections, the Election Committee of the FPCCI issued a notification to reinstate 16 voters from Balochistan against the decision of the DGTO. However, the UBG approached the court and annulled them.
The camps of both Candidates are crowded. Arrangements are aligned with SOPs in the election process but the fear of Covid could not undermine voters’ spirit to cast vote.
