Speaking to the media after speaking with PTI founder at Adiala Jail, Asad Qaiser said that party secretary general Omar Ayub would be the party’s candidate for the prime minister’s slot.

He further said that Imran would give a date later today for a countrywide protest campaign against alleged rigging in the Feb 8 polls.

Qaiser further said he had been given an “assignment” to engage with all political parties protesting against the poll results, specifically mentioning JUI-F, ANP and QWP.

“We want that we all form a strategy because the mandate was stolen — this was the worst and most rigged election in our history,” he said, adding that polls lacked “credibility”.
