Saifullah family has decided not to contest 2018 general elections allegedly due to the issue of an affidavit that has to be submitted with the nomination papers.
According to media reports, the lawyers of the Saifullah family have advised against contesting the polls as they are facing graft references in the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
