Unidentified attackers shot dead a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-backed candidate from NA-8 Bajaur, Rehan Zeb Khan, in the poll-bound country's Siddiqabad Phatak Bazar area on Wednesday.

Khan, contesting as an independent, was also a candidate for provincial assembly seat PK-22, reported The Express Tribune.

Khan was at Siddiqabad Gate canvassing for the upcoming general elections when he was targeted by attackers.

He was reportedly travelling in his vehicle when the incident happened.

PTI rally targeted

In the past 24 hours, this is the second time PTI, the political outfit which ruled the country till former PM Imran Khan was removed from power in 2022, was targeted.

At least four people died after a bomb blast rocked a PTI rally in Balochistan's Sibi region on Tuesday.
