ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is ready to secure two more seats in the upcoming elections. The upcoming elections will be held on November 15 in the Punjab Assembly. The Imran Khan-led party will have a clear edge over rival PML-N in the numbers game.
According to the details, in the house of 371 members, 192 members will support PTI with those of Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) supporting its original tally of 182.
On the other hand, PML-N has the support of 169 lawmakers. It might be possible that PML-N will only get seven others belonging to the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP).
Pakistan Rah-e-Haq Party (PRHP) and three independent members have decided if they would vote for the PTI candidates or for the PML-N. Even if the four said lawmakers, along with seven of the PPP, vote for the candidates fielded by PML-N, the total number of votes its candidates would manage to secure will be no higher than 179.
As per the details of the candidates running for the vacant seats of the upper house of the parliament, PTI has fielded Allama Iqbal’s grandson, Waleed Iqbal, and Seemi Ezdi, the sister of disqualified PTI leader Jahangir Khan Tareen. PML-N, on the other hand, has awarded party tickets to former health minister Saira Afzal Tarar and Chaudhry Saud Majeed.
Both Saud and Tarar endured defeat in the 2018 general elections because of PML-Q and PTI competitors. Tarar was crushed by PTI’s Shaukat Bhatti from Hafizabad while Saud was defeated by PML-Q’s Tariq Bashir Cheema, who was supported by PTI in Yazman, Bahawalpur.
As per sources in PML-N, Saud is endeavoring to win the help of PTI administrators from south Punjab; be that as it may, this case holds no ground as Saud is a Punjabi pilgrim and has a more grounded help of the officials having a place with focal Punjab.
Besides, since PTI has brought a central pastor having a place with southern Punjab and has obliged various clergymen from a similar district, it is exceptionally improbable of the administrators of the south to help PML-N’s hopeful.
PTI’s Waleed Iqbal, then again, additionally confronted thrashing in the July 25 general surveys from Lahore. Afterward, he connected for a ticket to challenge the as of late held by-race in NA-131, however it was rather granted to Humayun Akhtar Khan.
With Waleed and his supporters being left dispirited over the gathering’s turn, his selection for Senate surveys has revitalized the previous’ trust in the authority, sources in PTI said.
It merits making reference to here that the two Senate situates being referred to had fallen empty after the exclusion of PML-N legislators Saadia Abbasi and Haroon Akhtar Khan for having double nationalities.
