Staff Report Wednesday, 24 Jul 2013 9:20 pm | Comments (2) 93dae2f99ec1a3cdd0a34c96ed471f82 ISLAMABAD - With bleak chances of winning the presidential election, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders have left their candidate Justice (r) Wajihuddin Ahmed on his own in the race despite the fact that party chairman Imran Khan is known for fighting to the end. Though the leaders of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) have been shuttling from one city to another to win support for their presidential candidates, the leadership of PTI looks in a “deep slumber” over the issue and this slackness indicates high indecision, confusion and lack of conviction within the party to make a serious effort to get their party’s candidate elected for the top slot. A leader in the PTI told Pakistan Today on condition of anonymity that in absence of Imran Khan, the PTI leaders made no effort to win support for Justice Wajihuddin. He said his party leaders had not even contacted likeminded parties like Awami Muslim League, Jamat-e-Islami, Qaumi Watan Party or Awami Jamhoori Ittehad of Swabi, let alone MQM. The PTI leader said the indecision on making political contacts to win maximum support for Wajihuddin was due to fears and concerns among the second-tier leadership of the party that their efforts might be taken in the wrong perspective by the party chief and everyone was waiting for the return of Imran Khan from London. But the situation also reflects how divisions are deepening within the party which is being taken by many as a replacement for the PML-N and the PPP. - See more at: pakistantoday.pk/2013/07/24/news/national/pti-leaves-wajihuddin-alone-in-race-for-presidency/#sthash.ImFmY3Z8.dpuf
