It is pertinent to mention here that after Jamat-e-Islami (JI), a religio-political party failed to secure any seats in the National Assembly (NA).<\/p>\n

The party won two seats in Sindh, three in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one in the Balochistan assemblies.<\/p>\n

Sirajul Haq was elected as the new ameer of JI in 2014, replacing the then-outgoing chief Syed Munawar Hassan. Out of 31,311 office-bearers of the party, 25,533 people voted which Sirajul Haq managed to secure a majority of votes in 2014.<\/p>\n

Haq remained JI chief for a tenure of five years and he was re-elected in 2019. Now after serving the JI for 10 years, he finally resigned from his post.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, Sindh Assembly MPA-elect and Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Karachi chief<\/a> Hafiz Naeemur Rehman announced to quit PS-129, citing \u2018rigging\u2019 in elections 2024.<\/p>\n

Hafiz Naeemur Rehman said according to FORM 45 he received 26,000 votes but was \u2018declared winner with 30464 votes\u2019.<\/p>\n

PTI-backed independent candidate grabbed more votes than me, JI Karachi chief said and added he dares to quit the seat over \u2018rigged\u2019 results.<\/p>\n
