ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry has said that PPP has been opposing open balloting for the coming Senate elections to keep up its vote-purchase tradition.
Taking to his official Twitter handle, he quoted Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah as saying the PPP would win ten Senate seats from the province. “Obviously, this would be possible only when you buy other party members,” he said.

“This is the tradition that the PPP opposes open vote and insists on secret balloting to keep up,” Fawad Chaudhry said and called for the Supreme Court to make the chief minister’s statement part of its proceedings on the presidential reference.
