In Islamabad, following Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam’s decision to abstain from the presidential election, Jamaat-e-Islami has also chosen to remain neutral.
Jamaat-e-Islami opted to boycott the presidential election, with Senator Mushtaq Ahmed Khan, their sole representative in the Senate, abstaining from voting.
Likewise, in the Sindh Assembly, Jamaat-e-Islami member Muhammad Farooq refrained from participating in the presidential election, stating that his decision was not influenced by the party leadership’s directives and emphasizing their detachment from the electoral process.
In the Balochistan Assembly, both Majeed Badini from Jamaat-e-Islami and Maulana Hidayat Rehman from Haq Du Tehreek chose not to cast their votes, opting instead to maintain a neutral stance in the presidential election.
A spokesperson for Jamaat-e-Islami released a statement asserting that both the votes and the election results were manipulated, rendering the entire electoral process fraudulent. Consequently, Jamaat-e-Islami has decided to remain neutral in the presidential election, while also pledging to intensify efforts against electoral fraud and urging the opposition to join them in the fight against corruption in practical terms.
