Zahid according to the people of his ward join the National Conference after all his voters and neighbors unanimously suggested him to join the party as the people who voted for him are traditionally considered as NC vote bank. Six other independents who joined NC and had reportedly assembled over a dinner party to discuss the modalities and priorities in developmental sector.
In the photographs released by the National Conference yesterday, Zahid Hussain was seen with MLC Sajjad Ahmed Kichloo and NC District President Tanveer Ahmed Kichloo and other NC leaders at the residence of another independent who won from Ward.
