Former PTI senator Walid Iqbal has joined other party leaders, including Sher Afzal Marwat, in criticising the decision to join the Sunni Ittehad Council in a bid to secure reserved seats.

In an interview with DawnNewsTV, Iqbal stated it would have been wiser to have joined a party that had submitted a list of reserved seats, adding that it would have reduced legal and constitutional challenges for the PTI.

On the upcoming Senate polls, he said, “Well, I am not a crystal ball but I have seen surprises in the Senate [elections] before.”
