Imran Khan's party makes come back in Pak's Punjab assembly by-polls: PM Sharif suffers setback

India Today  

Ousted premier Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf on Sunday made a 'clean sweep' in the crucial Punjab assembly by-polls, in a major setback to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif whose Chief Minister son Hamza Shehbaz is all set to lose his post. Now we ask the PTI-PMLQ to form the government in Punjab," the Prime Minister's spokesperson Malik Ahmad Khan told PTI. To a question whether Prime Minister Shehbaz would dissolve the National Assembly to call early general elections, he said: "The PML-N leadership will decide about it in consultation with its allies.” PML-N vice president Maryam Nawaz also accepted her party's defeat. "Today Punjab government has brazenly violated SC orders election rules by openly using all government and state machinery to rig Punjab elections through illegal ballot stamping harassing voters while arresting PTI leaders,” he said.
