In clear violation of party policy, the Speaker and other PML-N members had supported their own candidates.

"The party has received the resignation of Jan Jamali," sources in the PML-N told Dawn.
Jan Muhammad Jamali had complained that Sibi and Nasserabad divisions were ignored in terms of distribution of Senate tickets.
The Speaker had also announced that Muslim League Balochistan will be formed.
