ISLAMABAD: Awami National Party (ANP) has announced to support Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) candidate Senator Raza Rabbani in the presidential elections, scheduled on July 30.
A meeting was held between Senator Raza Rabbani and ANP Chief Asfandyar Wali Khan to discuss the upcoming presidential elections and the situation that arose after the Supreme Court judgment on the issue.
During the meeting, the ANP leader expressed reservations over the Supreme Court order to hold presidential elections on July 30, instead of August 6 as earlier announced by the Election Commission of Pakistan.
The ANP leader said although his party has decided to support the candidature of Senator Rabbani, a decision to boycott the election in protest against Supreme Court judgment will be taken later in the evening.
