Former PTI minister Shireen Mazari has termed the upcoming Senate polls an “electoral circus”, citing the candidature of ex-caretaker premier Anwaarul Haq Kakar and former caretaker Punjab Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi.

In a post on X, she said, “So now we have Kakar and Mohsin Naqvi both being sneaked into Senate. For the parties putting up these two, clearly the Constitution is of no relevancy.

“There is also Aimal Wali changing his domicile to sneak into the Senate. Earlier we saw caretaker minister [Sarfraz] Bugti resign and be cleared for elections,” she recalled.

“What an electoral circus!”
