ISLAMABAD: Former PTI leader and Senator Faisal Vawda submitted his resignation to Chairman Senate Sadiq Sanjrani.
“The seat was the trust of Imran Khan,” Faisal Vawda said in a social media statement. “I have fulfilled my moral duty as well as to comply with the Supreme Court’s order,” he said.
“I am grateful to Almighty Allah, and thanks to Imran Khan and all senators,” he added.
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) in line with the orders of the Supreme Court, withdrew the notification of de-seating Faisal Vawda from the Senate and restored his Senate membership recently.
However, it was a short-lived arrangement as Faisal Vawda, under a commitment given to the Supreme Court, had to resign as a Senate member, paving the way for a fresh election on the upper house seat from Sindh.
Faisal Vawda was elected senator on a PTI ticket and later disqualified by the Election Commission of Pakistan over dual nationality.
