Isn't the SNP on a separatist agenda with very, very little public support and the support that they do get is because their leader is a Bhutto.

Today is the first time I heard of this party.I do not think it has any separatist agenda.It is a pretty much unknown party?

True there is only little support with them and they were in an alliance with PMLN during 2013 elections.

IK is going to lose big in KPK.

In 2013, PTI won 16 NA seats in KPK out of total 35 , and I predict PTI to lose at least ~10 seats out of 16 seats that PTI won in 2013.

PTI came second in 9 seats, and I think they can win 1 of those seats.

So PTI would have 5~7 seats in KPK in 2018.



Note: I am excluding 12 Tribal seats as generally independents win most of these seats, and anyway PTI won only 1 Tribal seat in 2013.

Cult based politics is in Pakistan. People are in blind love for the leader of their respective cult (mqm, pmln, pti, pppp )

80%+ voters are literate in NA120.
In 2013, shia voters gave their vote to IK, not sure where they would go now.

IK can become the PM in a technocrats govt, but if free and fair elections are held today, it would be hard for PTI to repeat the success of 2013.

[TalentSpotterPk]

In Kpk Yes since they have performed better than ANP except for adulterating textbooks of schools & colleges with lies & mullahism.


But PTI has failed to deliver its promises in KPK. They have done some great works but have failed to make KPK a role model province.


There performance is 60-65 % which is a failure overall given the hopes and promises.

They have delivered better than what PPP has in Sindh or PML N and National party has achieved in balochistan but they had to defeat Sharif’s performance in Federal government and Punjab where they failed.

In first 15 months KPK was doing the best but than it all nose dived still In police and land record reforms they have delivered the best but overall not good enough.


PTI cannot overthrow PML N in Punjab and immature Imran Khan who has played in the hands of anti democratic forces is a big reason for this. Anti establishment Imran was a beauty and nation stood with him but now it’s all about blind IK followers. Imran Khan sahib has to shrink Noon league supporters and make 25 - 45 % PML N voters his voters in the space of 5 years but he has failed to do this and Noon league votebank is intact.


Shehbaz Sharif’s performance is not satisfactory when we compare it with first world governance where it’s lacking in many sectors but it’s a fact that his performance has been the best overall amongst all 4 provinces, GB & Kashmir.



So sad given all the PTI canvassing I had been doing for PTI here.

SS performance is better, but you are disappointed that PTI peformed 60-65 percent?? I guess you would love to see the 10-15 percent performance by ANP, PPP e.t.c e.t.c

PTI has delivered 60-65% of their promises and it is enough for us. Given that inshAllah in next ruling, PTI performance will inflate upto 80-90%.

Things need time and in the given time PTI has done an excellent job.

What do you mean by its all about BLIND Ik followers? The term blind better suits to Nooras not to IK who as been proven Sadiq and Ameen.
And i clearly know why you are disappointed because of the reasons which you have mentioned in your first line and now i came to know why you mentioned those reasons

You must be living in Mars if you are disappointed with PTI performance in KPK or else you are Na Shukra

With all the surveys on various TV channels and social media, I reckon Imran Khan's popularity has significantly increased.

On a side note, a QWP MPA has joined the PTI.

 

[Waseem]

I won't mind Shehbaz Sharif at the helm. He is more experienced and his level of sanity is also greater than Imran's.

Lol Shahbaz Sharif and sanity

The man who in his recent speech on 25th December said "ruling elite is the biggest problem of this country and no once can dare to question them" and

"Hospitals are in worst condition, rich go overseas for minor issues while poor die without proper treatment available"

"People are sick of police and injustice in the police system"

Now this is the man who has been ruling Punjab for 10 straight years and his party almost 3 decades and he claims that Quaid e Azam will be restless in his grave due to this ruling elite (himself and his family).

Sharif may be more hardworking than lazy Nawaz but surely his wisdom is nothing to be proud of and i can give countless examples.

Shehbaz has proved his mettle in Punjab. Let's see if he can deliver at a national level. Imran is all hot air, I have no faith in his leadership.

[htariq25]

Looks unlikely but Insha Allah by the will of all mighty Allah PTI will come to power in Pakistan in this election. Imran is a fighter and the same way he won the world cup for Pakistan he will win the elections.
He accepted the heavy loss in lodhran and Insha Allah will learn from that. I request all people on this forum in Pakistan to vote PTI as they will secure a better future for Pakistan. They may have made mistakes on the way but they are not corrupt at all and much better than any other party in Pakistan. Insha Allah naya Pakistan this year.

Somebody please slap some sense into IK

 

[hussain.r97]

I really don't see PTI winning this one. And personally, with every passing day, it is becoming less likely that I will vote for them.

Unfortunately, Imran Khan is too unstable and foolish to be PM, and I hope he never holds the PMship. First of all, PTI has been an anti-democratic force, giving precedence to their dharnas and protests over actually doing their job as the second largest opposition party. Secondly, PTI have lost their "non-corrupt" appeal by taking on all these corrupt electables and turncoats. Thirdly, and most importantly, I am genuinely scared that PTI will run the country into the ground with poor policy and decision making. What of sane person gives Jamaat-i-Islami control of KPKs education of all things? And then, what sort of sane person makes an alliance with a mullah who has links to the Taliban? Not only those two things, but under PTIs watch, Taliban madrassahs got government funding! Such poor decisions have the potential to create another 1980s generation for Pakistan, and that is the last thing we need.

I do recognize that Imran Khan is genuine, has done work against corruption, and that PTI have even done some good things in KPK. But people need to realize that poor policy and decision making is just as bad as corruption, and in fact even has the potential to do greater harm to the country. In my opinion, PTI are only worth considering after Imran Khan leaves, and if they change their direction and shift to the left.

On top of the above, my ideology personally does not match with PTI. I don't support the mixing of religion and politics/governance, and I think Pakistan needs to run on a more secular model. Mullahs and religion have no business in politics. I just wish the PPP were not so incompetant, because Pakistan is in dire need of a genuinely progressive force. I have hopes that maybe Bilawal will be able to turn things around after Zardari leaves the scene.

Haven't been able to watch Muqaabil as yet but they must have raised some valid points. I think they did an amazing job DURING the Panama scandal, Fawad Ch covered events everyday and provided much needed details that completely exposed Sharifs and their Qatari letter stories.
PTI held jalsas and showed the country on big screens how big liars are Sharifs.

After the verdict though, they had a few rallies but all half hearted and nothing substantial to counter "Mujhay kyun nikala". Only good thing Imran did was couple of good Karachi tours and few jalsas in Sindh.
They totally went flat since Jahangir Tareen disqualification (which by the way has impacted PTI a lot).

Hopefully NAB court verdict will change things and PTI is soon announcing jalsas all over Pakistan including better campaign in Karachi as well.

 

[Waseem]

I think he was referring to Hamid Mir's comments about General Kyani asking 25 Independent winning candidates to join PMLN and PTI had said the same thing.

Also rigging was proved in 3/4 constituencies PTI wanted to investigate and the case on 4th one is till ongoing (only took them 5 years so no hurry).

Having said that, PMLN would have still won without rigging or General Kyani's help. They only wanted to rig a few seats to get absolute majority.

PTI will perform better than last time but absolute majority is impossible and no PTI supporter has ever denied that.

 

[B@$!T]

Imran Khan may have started a new era of justice but honestly he isn't winning anything except KP. Elections are round the corner and nothing from PTI till now, if he plans to ride the nawaz is corrupt wave all the way to the elections he will end up losing KP aswell.

Finding a balance is key.

Because even if PTI manages to get more seats than PMLN (highly unlikely) they won't possibly form alliance with PPP (due to Zardari being equally corrupt) but PMLN and PPP would gladly form an alliance.

Even if Imran Khan runs best campaign possible, it is impossible to convince majority in Punjab that Imran Khan is in opposition and can't possibly spend billions from his own pocket to do development work all around Punjab.

Try watching any of talkshows carrying out surveys in Punjab, most common response is

"Nawaz has done so much development work, what has Imran Khan done". I mean how on earth do they expect him to do development work in Punjab.

PMLN has handed out billions recently to all development work, link below from one of better papers Dawn

Each NA constituency gets Rs200m development funds

This was before Panama verdict, lot more has been handed out since then with no audit of were money is spent.

Even the ones convinced that Nawaz is corrupt don't care "Even if he steals some funds, he does development work as well" How to you argue with such mentality?

True. Keep them stupid and they will vote for you. I have given up o the elections. They are a waste of time. But I still believe Imran can do some good outside of the system. Thats his best chance. But he has no money to create lasting change. We are stuck with that crook zardari and his puppet mr progressive Billu kaka and then we have Showbaaz the actor..

I'm just concerned that IK will be unsuccessful in the next elections (the writing is already on the wall) and then he will give up on politics and soon the PTI will wither and get absorbed into PML-N and PPP, and for the next two three decades we will have the Sharifs and Bhutto-Zardaris taking turns to do balatkar of country.

I think whether IK wins the election or not, his activism has awoken up too many people for the family businesses to return to business as usual. Both PPP and the Nooras are increasingly reliant on illiterate Rural voters in Sindh and Punjab. The Urban areas are anybodys and as we have seen the social media has shown up the Nooras for what they are.
If he does step down the leadership will between Assad Umer and SMQ and hopefully whoever loses doesnt throw his toys out of the Pram. If the transition can be managed successfully, we will have a new dawn in PK party politics as a major party changes leadership without splitting and becoming a family business.

These crooks and their supporters felt they were untouchable. But the kaptaan has the mafia on the run but its tenticles run so deep unfortunately i dont see its elimination any time soon.

He doesn't need to win

He just needs to keep embarrassing and humiliating these band of thieves called Pml-n

Because of IK both King NS and Princess Maryam are made to appear before NAB court every second day That achievement alone is enough to write IK name in golden worlds even if we forget his hospital, cricket etc

Two sitting MNAs change loyalties from N to PTI. So, they believe they will have a very good chance with PTI.

But a section of media not highlighting this issue because it will put doubts in the minds of masses that N league can be vulnerable itself.
If some one from PTI had even resigned from the party it would be breaking news and first headline on Geo news.

 

[R3verse Swing]

I suggest someone call Putin. He's pretty good a changing the course of elections. :/

 

[PakLFC]

Of course he can win it. I feel that even if he does someone else will become PM from the PTI party.

 

[King-Misbah]

PTI will win in shallah and I have been saying this for months. Next week more people will leave PMLN. Remember Faisalabad was PLMNs strong hold.

 

[hussain.r97]

No way. He isn't going to win any more votes than he won last time. While he may have gained support through electables, he has also lost a lot of support due to introducing corrupt elements, rubbish policies, and his behaviours. There is no way I am voting for anyone who is knowingly financing Taliban seminaries, that single policy should put just about every objectively thinking person off.

 

[saeedhk]

5 more N-league MNAs and MPAs to join the PTI.

 

[Syed1]

Win or lose IK already has more achievements for Pakistan than Nawaz and his clan can ever hope to have. IK is a fighter he will never give up, but fighting the Punjabi establishment that replaced the British is no easy job.


But things can change from now to the elections. NS could go to jail and SS could get embroiled in NAB cases.

Imran This Imran that,can he do this,can he drink a glass of water! It depends on a system FGS!!!

What would he gain by handing out cash to people who would allegedly create havoc in province his party rules?

So when you objectively think about it, MAYBE he does have a point that only REAL way of reducing extremism is by bringing millions of madrassah students into mainstream?

No money given to Madressah Haqqania, claims PTI

ISLAMABAD: Amid criticism of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government’s funding to Maulana Samiul Haq’s Darul Uloom Haqqania, the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) has claimed that no cash transaction was involved and the seminary was being assisted only in building infrastructure.

Talking to Dawn after a meeting between Chief Minister Pervez Khattak and PTI chairman Imran Khan here on Monday, party’s information secretary Fawad Chaudhry claimed that the infrastructure development was being carried out by the provincial communications and works department and no funds had been given directly to Darul Uloom Haqqania.

Mr Chaudhry termed the criticism in some political and media circles “unjustified”. He said the funds had been allocated by the KP government to provide assistance to the religious seminaries as part of its policy to mainstream madrasahs.

“We have already spent some Rs270 million on construction of various buildings and establishment of computer labs in the seminaries, being run under the control of Darul Uloom Haqqania,” he said, explaining that the funds were not being spent on just one seminary as there was a chain of seminaries functioning under Darul Uloom Haqqania.

KP chief minister briefs Imran on steps for mainstreaming seminaries

Darul Uloom Haqqania is headed by Maulana Samiul Haq, chief of his own faction of the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam.

The PTI information secretary said that the administration of Darul Uloom Haqqania wanted to construct a complex for which it had demanded an additional amount of Rs300m.

He admitted that Imran Khan should have clarified all these points during his Sunday’s news conference instead of only defending the KP government’s act when a journalist had put a question in this regard.

Mr Chaudhry further said the KP government had offered all the seminaries functioning in KP to adopt the curriculum developed by the Elementary Secondary Education Department and the examination system under the department to receive financial assistance. He claimed that Darul Uloom Haqqania was the first seminary which had accepted this offer.

Earlier in the day, according to a handout issued by the party’s central media department, Chief Minister Khattak briefed the PTI chairman on the measures taken by his government to mainstream madrasahs in the province. He also informed Mr Khan “about the funds being issued to Darul Uloom Haqqania”.

Speaking on the occasion, Imran Khan said that more than 2.5 million children were studying in different madrasahs. He said the funds and support would help the seminary students assimilate in society, bring them to the mainstream and keep them away from radicalisation.

Lauding the KP government, he said that progressive reforms were being implemented by the provincial government to better integrate seminary students into the mainstream.

Mr Khattak said the KP government had provided comprehensive support to Jamia Haqqania for the development of infrastructure.

Use of helicopter

Meanwhile, the KP chief minister submitted a reply to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on the issue of alleged misuse of official helicopter of the provincial government.

In his reply, he claimed that the helicopter had been used for 39 trips in which ministers/advisers had also accompanied Imran Khan. He said the chopper had been used for only 72 flying hours against fuel charges of Rs2.1m in four-and-a-half years.

He welcomed the NAB’s inquiry and said he would fully cooperate with the bureau.
