| The fate of the APDM hangs in balance as the component parties will meet today (Sunday) with divergent views on boycotting the January 8 elections. After the PPP and the JUI-F refusal to boycott the elections, and due to dissent within the party, the PML-N has given a green signal to its party ticket holders to prepare for the elections. The APDM component parties, the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI), the Pakhtoonkhwa Milli Awami Party (PkMAP), and the Balochistan National Party-Hayee (BNP-H) would pressure the PML-N to stick to boycotting the polls. |
