LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Khawaja Saad Rafique has submitted his nomination papers to contest by-election from NA-131, a seat which was vacated by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan.

Following this, the former railways minister was issued ticket by his party to contest the by-election in the constituency.

On the other hand, Waleed Iqbal is the PTI’s expected candidate for the by-election.

Moreover, former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi will contest by-election from NA-124 constituency, the seat left vacant by Hamza Shehbaz.

ECP has announced conduct of by-polls countrywide on October 14.
