I hope they have a plan for it but they can't delay allocating tickets because after June 6 candidates will be left with less than 50 days to campaign in their constituencies after getting tickets.
 
PTI Ticket Allotment dates:

1) 31st May : Islamabad
2) 2nd/3rd June : Punjab
3) 4th June : FATA & KPK
4) 5th June : Sindh
5) 6th June : Balochistan

Poor response forces PML-N to extend date for party tickets

ISLAMABAD: The decision of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) to extend the deadline for accepting applications for party tickets for general elections has much to do with a lackluster response.

If the people vote for PTI in huge numbers and Noon still wins through "rigging" then you can expect wide spread protests without even PTI calling for protests.

I hope so and my only hope is if the youth really shows up at polling stations instead of just contributing on social media. We really need a turn out of 60-65% this time last time it was 55%

In a hypothetical scenario:

Atif as CM KP (Khattak is good but we need another face this time a young one in KP), Ch Sarwar or Dr Yasmeen as CM Punjab because SMQ in my view can only deliver in federal govt. CM in Balochistan and Sindh? Well i can't see PTI ruling there anytime soon and even if they do they will have to give CMship to local parties and form an alliance.

In Federal i want to see:

Imran Khan as PM
Asad Umar as Finance Minister
SMQ as Foreign Minister
Ch Sarwar as Interior Minister (in case he is not the CM Punjab)
Fawad Ch as Info Minister
Mazari as Defence Minister
Amin Aslam as Environment Minister
Dr Alvi as Minister for Parliamentary Affairs
Hammad or Walid as Education Ministers

Great lineup. I believe, for Dr. Alvi, the Health Ministry would be better. Shahram Tarakai can also be elevated here. In that case, Dr. Alvi can be accommodated in MoPA.

In addition, Hammad Azhar would be better suited in the Law Ministry.

To add to this already impressive lineup.

Ali Tareen - Agriculture Minister
Ali Muhammad Khan - IT and Telco Minister

--
This is the perfect scenario. However, PTI is not in the position to get a majority. So, some of these portfolios might be handed out to coalition partners, depending upon bargaining power.

Oh yea i forgot about Health Ministry i think Dr Alvi can be given Health Ministry and Shahram should be made IT Minister he had the IT portfolio in KP as well. You are right they will have to give up a few ministries in case they need other parties.
 
This new rumor is already in market about PMLN+PPP forming govt and Shobaz given PMship while PPP given Punjab CMship because Zardari is thinking long term and for that he need strong hold on Punjab to get field ready for 2023 and in his view Bilawal will be ready by 2023 as PM

Yeah. A PMLN-PPP-JUIF-PkMAP coalition government is still on the cards but I doubt PPP will be given Punjab CMship. Punjab had razed PPP's presence to the ground in 2013. The 2018 drubbing would be even worse.

Making a PPP person as Punjab CM would be political suicide for Shahbaz. It would be way better for them to sit in opposition to PTI.

True but what if Zardari is able to buy Ind from Punjab after they win their seats? There is a big chance many will go Ind in this election. In that case PMLN will have to do kuch lau kuch dau with Zardari

What will the bought Inds do? Join PPP? By the way, Inds are most likely going to join with the party that has a plurality of seats and thus is the most closest to forming the government. I believe, becoming bargaining chips is lower on their priority list.

That's a very good list.

I am not too sure about the purpose of having education and health minister since provinces have full control of these post 18th amendment? We do have federal health minister in current PMLN government but no education minister so not sure how this works.

If we can have these ministers at federal level then i would go with:

Arif Alvi as health minister
Waleed Iqbal as education minister
Hammad Azhar as law minister

Having said that, some of these guys may not even win their own seats so this is totally hypothetical. PTI still needs to do lot of work before they can seriously think about forming government.

I think Zardari is waiting for 2023 otherwise Bilawal would have been given some role in current government. Bilawal so far is just a poster boy who is used to give impression that Bhutto is still alive otherwise he does not take part in any policy making and even attends jalsas every now and then.

Disappointed in the name of caretaker PM. If 2013 elections were stated to be clean; we can only imagine 2018 election rigging and results. PTI should not accept him as PM. But PTI will be passive about it and suffer later.
 
Guys caretaker PM doesn't have that much power in the first place. It will all depend on caretaker CM in Punjab.

The sitting MNA is from Noon but he has recently joined PTI.


Also a point to be noted is that these surveys hardly ever include people of middle class, or college/university students and women. These groups have significant impact on elections too.

Nasir Saeed Khosa nominated to become Punjab caretaker CM. (source)

I wasn't expecting such a quick resolution. Can anybody shed light on this fellow?
 
Found a profile. Doesn't look promising.

Nasir Mahmood Khosa was named as the caretaker Punjab chief minister after the opposition reached a consensus on the candidate earlier today.

Khosa is the Alternate Executive Director from Pakistan representing Afghanistan, Algeria, Ghana, Iran, Morocco, Pakistan, and Tunisia.

The former bureaucrat was born in Dera Ghazi Khan. He served as a chief secretary in both, Punjab and Balochistan, with his tenure in the former extending to over two years with Shehbaz Sharif as the chief minister.

He belongs to the sixth common batch of the Pakistan Administrative Service (PAS).

Khosa had also served as Deputy Commissioner, Faisalabad, and Lahore, Commissioner Lahore, Additional Secretary Finance, Additional Secretary Agriculture and Food and Principal Secretary to the Punjab governor.

Khosa has also served as the principal secretary under former prime minister Nawaz Sharif in 2013.

He holds a degree in English Literature and Public Administration. Khosa had earlier completed his Bachelor of Laws.

He obtained a degree from the University of Pennsylvania, where he specialised in Development Economics.

One of his brothers Justice Asif Saeed Khosa is Supreme Court judge and second one Tariq Mahmood Khosa is a PSP officer and served as Balochistan IG and FIA director general.

Off topic but what a family lol one brother is a SC judge and he disqualified 2 sitting PMs (Gillani and Nawaz) and he is going to be our next CJ. Another brother was a popular PSP officer who served as Balochistan IG and DG FIA. And the third one served as Chief Secretary Punjab and is now interim CM Punjab.

I concur. This is why PTI should be pragmatic in giving out tickets. Where the rural vote/biradri support is dominant, the old individual can work. In an urban setting, recycling MNAs can definitely backfire.

The name of Tariq Khosa was recommended by PTI. So, N league must have asked, "what about his brother?". And PTI acquiesced, "why not". After all both of his brothers have very good reputation too.

PTI are neither happy nor upset with his name. Declaring those elections null and void was never going to be a decision from that commission.

Now, PTI just acting in jubilation to give an impression that nothing is going against them. They are trying to create a wave in favor of PTI by claiming that this is the best thing that happened since the sliced bread. It is all psychological.

Public meetings , rallies are tough in this heat and Ramadan. For narrative propagation PTI needs to ban some poor speakers from TV appearances, people like Naeem, Shibli etc..... I am disappointed with Shafqat Mahmood too. On the other hand Iftikhar Durrani is a decent debater.
PTI needs to announce a list of spokespersons, around 14-15. No one else should be allowed on TV.

A Wednesday is still a poor choice for elections. ECP itself trying its best to minimize voter turn out.

People, who work and study in other cities, won't be able to reach home to cast their votes.

How can we estimate a reasonable number of people who might not be able to vote because of work commitments?

1 million may be?
