PPP’s Saeed Ghani resigns from Senate seat

Islamabad (Staff Report): Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Senator Saeed Ghani on Thursday resigned from the Upper House seat to join the Sindh Assembly.

Ghani won PS-114 by-poll with more than 23,000 votes, defeating Muttahida Qaumi Movement's (MQM) Kamran Tessori, who secured over 18,000 votes.

In an emotional speech delivered on the floor of the Senate, the PPP leader said the decision to leave the Upper House and join the provincial assembly had been a difficult one for him, and that he would miss his colleagues.

"Forgive me for any offence I might have caused," he said, tearing up.
