Mushahid’s senate seat is going to an end on 11 March 2018, and he was afraid to loose in senate elections 2018 because PML-Q has not much seats by which he can get in to the Upper house.
There were three options for Mushahid Hussain, to get Senate’s seat.
- PML-N
- PTI
- PPP
If we look around three of them, the best one is PML-N, Nawaz’s party enjoys a huge number of seats as compare to supposition.
