GLORY BE TO GOD
PML N Vice President Maryam Nawaz has accepted the by elections results saying we accept these results and will try to find out factors that led to PML N defeat. In a Tweet she said PML N should accept the results adding the party would try to do even better in the general elections.
PML-N’s senior leader Malik Mohammad Ahmed Khan has accepted that PTI has received a “landslide victory” in the hotly-contested Punjab by-polls.
Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) routed the ruling coalition by winning 17 out of the 20 seats in the Punjab bypolls. The massive alliance of big leaders like Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, PM Shehbaz Sharif, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice-President Maryam Nawaz, Pakistani Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman is nearing a big defeat in the province.
There are only 2 seats where PLM-N is leading and 1 seat for Independent.
Punjab was under the control of the PTI party until April when then-Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar resigned after the federal parliament took up a no-confidence against Khan.
The PTI’s subsequent nominee for the position was defeated as a faction among the party’s state lawmakers voted for the PML-N’s candidate instead. Imran Khan then successfully petitioned the Election Commission of Pakistan to remove the state assembly lawmakers for illegally voting against the party’s directive, leaving 20 seats vacant.
And now PML-N leader Maryam Nawaz offers ‘hand of friendship’ to Imran Khan’s party. Some lady indeed.
