MNA Hamza Shahbaz – File

Speaking to reporters after a visit to a children’s hospital in Lahore, the MNA said he fails to understand PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s temperament.

Hamza said Imran tends to change his statement regarding Senate elections in spite of boycotting assemblies and is gearing up for Upper House elections.

The PTI leadership on Saturday announced that it will contest elections for the Senate. It has also that the party will contest only from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and will boycott from the rest of the three provincial and national assemblies.

According to one participant of the meeting convened on Tuesday to discuss modalities for PTI’s participation in the election, some party leaders expressed their reservations over the party’s decision to contest elections for the upper house of parliament only from KP.

Following the official announcement, the PTI is finally going to become part of the same parliament that Mr Khan protested against and derided for the 126 days of his sit-in outside Parliament House.

The PTI hopes to win five to six Senate seats from the KP.
