The by-election for NA-75 on February 19th comes after the seat fell vacant following the demise of the PML-N leader holding the seat. Syed Iftikharul Hassan Shah held the seat for NA-75, and PML-N has given ticket to late MNA’s daughter Nosheen Iftikhar.
Earlier, Maryam Nawaz said that the by-election in Daska was ‘not just an election but a battle‘.
