Sher Afzal Marwat Contests NA-32 Peshawar Seat

PTI’s Senior Vice President, Sher Afzal Marwat, formally declared his candidacy for the upcoming Peshawar elections by submitting nomination papers for NA-32. His cousin, Salahuddin, represented him during the nomination process. Notably, PTI founder Imran Khan won NA-32 (now NA-31) in the October 2022 by-election, securing over 32,000 votes against PDM-backed Ghulam Ahmed Bilour of ANP.

In a significant political shift, former PAC chairman Noor Alam Khan announced his affiliation with Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F). During a press conference in Peshawar with JUI-F’s Provincial Amir Senator Maulana Attaur Rehman, Khan expressed confidence in Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s leadership. He regretted the delayed decision to join JUI-F, citing admiration for Maulana’s leadership skills.
