The Baaji starlet hasn’t yet revealed why she opted to join PTI’s political platform. Though she did share that she would soon hold a press conference with party leaders in this regard.
It is pertinent to mention this isn’t Meera Jee’s first stint in politics. Back in 2013, the actress had announced that she would contest against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman, Imran Khan, and Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM)’s Sarfaraz Nawaz.
Meera chose the electoral symbol of black coat to contest the polls. She reportedly competed for the Lahore constituency NA-126.

Previously, singer and philanthropist Abrar-ul-Haq contested in the 2013 elections from Narowal for the NA-78 constituency. He was contending for PTI against Ahsan Iqbal.
Former model Abbas Jaffri also competed for PTI from PS-125. Meanwhile, actor Sajid Hassan contented for the NA 246 independently.
