In bye elections 2015, Malik Ehsan Tiwana was given authority to allocate PTI tickets in NA 70, he ignored his own group member and loyal political worker Malik Waris Baghoor in order to accommodate PTI Khushab's senior leader and ex ticket holder Malik Gul Asghar Baghoor in Adhikot. It is interesting to note that despite spending millions on the bye election, Malik Gul Asghar lost his home UC of Adhikot against independent candidate Malik Waris Baghoor who later joined PMLN in retaliation of being ignored. Since elections 2018 Adhikot is considered to be PMLN stronghold and hometown of billionaire business tycoon Engr Gul Asghar Khan Baghoor. |
