Waseem Qadir, the PTI-backed candidate who won from Lahore’s NA-121 constituency, has joined the PML-N.

Speaking in a video posted by the party, Qadir — who can be seen standing alongside PML-N Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz — said: “I have returned to my home.”

Initially the party had made the announcement in a post describing Qadir as a PTI-backed candidate.

It deleted the post minutes later and posted a new one, referring to him as an independent candidate.

It should be mentioned that Qadir had won from NA-121 after defeating PML-N’s Sheikh Rohale Asghar.
