Earlier in the day, dozens of news channels speculated with gusto that Bilawal would contest for the NA-204 (Larkana) constituency and that Ayaz Soomro, the PPP leader who previously won the seat, had already resigned as MNA.

“There is no truth in the speculation that the party chairman is contesting by-election for a Larkana seat,” Senator Farhatullah Babar said.
