Miftah Ismail’s ‘NA-249 Campaign’ is One of a Kind!

PML-N leader and owner of Candyland company, Miftah Ismail, is contesting in the by-election of Karachi’s NA-249 constituency and he is busy running a special campaign by distributing candies and pens.

Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has announced that the by-poll in the constituency will be held on April 29.

The constituency was ruled by PTI’s Faisal Vawda who bagged 35,344 votes against PML-N’s Shahbaz Sharif, who received 34,626 votes. The seat became vacant after Vawda was elected as a senator.
