Politics - Pakistani 2018 General Election and post-election discussion

[Mian]

Master Khattak is not really happy by these 2 because they hardly spent any time in their halqas.

ISF the student wing of PTI is really turning student leaders into politicians. In last elections Murad Saeed and Farukh Habib in this election Shahid Khattak to name a few!

 

[Mian]

Shehryar wasn't going to win in Kohat again we need a strong candidate there.

 

[Mian]

Two tickets with which we had issues have been solved already. Bilal Ejaz gets the ticket from NA84 while Ehsan Tiwana withdraws in favour of Gul Asghar & Shujah Muhammad on NA94 Khushab. (copied)

 

[Mian]

All those who are not given tickets from KP again are accusing Pervez Khattak instead of IK or others. Shehryar Afridi, Ali Mohammad, Shaukat Yusufzai etc

 

[waqar goraya]

IMO SMQ is actually building his road to Chairmship of PTI because he knows IK don't have much time left and Asad Umar isn't that strong within PTI wen it comes to grouping. I heard SMQ also wanetd to adjust his bhajne bhaanjyaan and their husbands from different seats. Imran ne apni family per ban laga rakha he but yeh saare apne beraadryaan launch ker rahe hen.

It's time to checkmate him. May Immy get a very long life. You can work fairly well even up to 80 years if you have maintained fitness in your time. Muhathir can get elected in 90s then why not Immy.
We still have a very abysmal level of literacy and education standards. PTI can't turn into a institution with these dynamics and political class.
Allah knows best but Imran Khan worked hard over the years on his fitness. If everything goes well he can easily lead PTI for next 10-12 years.

 

[waqar goraya]

So, Khattack wants his own partisans ? relatives?

 

[waqar goraya]

Sheikhu should be facilitated on one ticket imo. But maybe men under him are contesting on PTI tickets?

If he wants two seats then he should better contest on PTI ticket.

NA 60 should be a PTI constituency.

 

[Mian]

So, Khattack wants his own partisans ? relatives?

I think Khattak knows they didn't spent much time in their halqas and locals are not happy with them so he want to change the candidates without denting PTI votebank there. If i go by last 5 years of Khattak in KP i can safely say he is a master politician the way he handled different situations (although he is not that good when it comes to governance and i would like to see a different CM this time)

Hoping for the best 2018 is his best chance

I think PTI played this trick on multiple seats. Check what they did with Major Group in Attock they have given both the NA seats to him but announced MPA tickets under him for old PTI leaders/workers instead of his own panel. (3 MPA tickets are announced from Attock 1 is left and all 3 are from old PTI leadership).

Any news on Malik Amin Aslam? He has been face of PTI's mega project you know. If PTI wins elections maybe he can be made special adviser on environment.

I agree with you.

Imran Khan will be 66 in November. He is not your average 65 year old. He works hard on his fitness.

Illness and death can come to anyone. Even the fittest of the fittest but I think if Imran doesn't win this time then I definitely think he will run for one last time in 2023. He will be 71 which is still fine and he can do 5 years until 76 as prime minister.

But I don't think Imran will want to be PM if he fails to win in 2023. Even though he can carry on into his mid 70s and up to around 76 or 77, he is intelligent to know that a younger person will be better suited to carry on with his vision whilst he remains chairman up to age 80 (Allah give him a long life).

The person I see as prime minister if Imran fails to win this time and in 2023 is Asad Umar. Nobody else comes close.

 

[waqar goraya]

So, it looks like parliamentary board could not decide much in the last 3 days. We got same 60 percent outcome albeit with few adjustments. It seems remaining seats may take a very long time.

Also, a lot of MNA aspirants have been awarded MPA tickets. How were they convinced to agree on less? Will some of them also go independent on MNA seats too?

 

[awan_from_soon]

Sheikhu should be facilitated on one ticket imo. But maybe men under him are contesting on PTI tickets?

If he wants two seats then he should better contest on PTI ticket.

NA 60 should be a PTI constituency.

Watch from 4:00 onwards. This is just from a week ago:

According to this, Sheikhu is campaigning for his own party in NA-62 (for himself) and NA-60 (Ch Adnan). IMO, if he required two seats from Pindi, he should have been given the tougher NA-61. Kayani/Chohan should have been adjusted in NA 60 which is a sure shot win for PTI.

Bro it can't take a long time as the deadline is the 11th which is this Monday.

 

[Mian]

No news so far from him but there can be another scenario. If Major wins both NA seats Amin can be adjusted on one seat in by elections or he can also be adjusted as an adviser with minister privileges like Miftah or Zubair Umar etc because senate elections are far away. (But Amin is also an electable and these type adjustments can destroy your vote bank so electables stay away from these tricky situations).

I just hope there is no 3 way fight on NA-55 otherwise PMLN will win. On NA-56 we can afford a 3 way fight Major (PTI) vs PMLN vs Kamrial (old PTI) and Major will still win but not on NA55

Actually there are still sosome em upcoming joining like Jamali thats why they can't announce 100% tickets for now and than there are some seats with lot of phaddas

If i am nto wrong you are allowed to submit party tickets later till 29th June. So for now everyone is filing nomination papers as independent

 

[Mian]

ok here are some of the answers posted by Tareen's team on Twitter when they were sent thousands of tweets to justify tickets on some seats

Attock: Amin Aslam has NOT been ignored. He'll get ticket in the by poll, after Major Tahir vacates one of the two seats that he's likely to win.

Rawalpindi: We needed an Abbasi-Satti combo 2 counter PMLN in NA 57 against Khaqan Abbasi. Board went with Sadaqat for NA & Satti PP.

Gujrat: 3 way fight suits Ch Ilyas the most in NA 71. Hanif likely 2 cut PMLN votes, which would help Ilyas big time.

Sialkot NA 74: Mansoor Sarwar has two extremely strong MPA candidates in his panel. Ahsan Abbas & Tanveer ul Islam. Thus stands a good chance.

Sialkot NA 76: Brigadier Aslam Ghumman is a very good candidate. His brother Azeem Noori Ghumman lost MPA seat by a very slim margin despite a massive PMLN wave.

Gujranwala NA 84: Bilal Ijaz has got his ticket back. We'll win this seat with a handsome margin.

Khushab NA 94: Don't have any justification.

Toba Tek Singh NA 113: Fatyana has a bit of a history with PTI, so Kharal got the nod. Yes, we're weak here.

Okara NA 141: No justification for this seat either.

MNA/MPA seats are as interconnected as Nawaz and corruption. It's impossible to win an MNA seat unless you have strong MPAs in the panel.

No bro final date is the 11th. After this each candidate will be scrutinised by the election commission and affidavits etc will also be looked at etc.

Then after this election commission will notify parties of any candidates who they will not accept. Then a revised list will be released by the election commission on June 28th. Then on June 29th parties can make adjustments to it in terms of candidates that were not accepted and give alternative names. Then on June 30th final list released by election commission.

I see than it will be interesting to see how are they going to adjust people are still joining. 2 candidates of PMLN who came from Kasur and Raiwind are back to PMLN after not getting ticket from PTI. PMLN is also delaying their ticket allocation and they are ready to grab angry candidates of PTI too

 

[khanz141]

One bizzarr decision is on pk 6 and pk 7. Amjad is given both seats which no one understands why. PK 7 should have been given to someone else.

These are easy seats but PTI is ruining their chances as some PTI folks will now be trying to run independent which means splitting PTI vote and neither winning themselves or PTI candidate.

 

[Mian]

Updated list of candidates has been posted on PTI website:

Mian Tariq Mehmood gets NA80

Bilal Ejaz gets NA84

What about Rawalpindi city's NA-60 - an absolutely winnable seat for PTI given to Sheikhu's AML?

Also Major's chances are good only on NA-55. He can't win NA-56 unless there is a 3-way fight between Kamrial (indp), PMLN candidate, and PTI. It is highly likely that Kamrial will get PMLN ticket, in which case the greedy major will only end up victorious on NA-55.

In my opinion, Major has been nothing but a bad omen for PTI in attock. His arrival sidelined two of the party's very strong candidates in the district, Ameen Aslam and Kamrial (who has left PTI). PTI could have won Attock with candidate votebank+PTI votebank+swing voters even without Major's support.

This phenomenon was evident in NA-55's survey by HA today. Only 3 people of those supporting PTI mentioned Major group. The rest all were like Imran Khan, in ko bhi mauka milna chahiye, tabdeeli. etc.

Also who is this Raja Khurram Nawaz on NA-52? No love for Ch. Ilyas Meherban?

 

[Mian]

Looks like Ali Ashraf Mughal to me an old PTI candidate who had 27k votes in 2013. This is a lost seat no way Usman Ibrahim of PMLN is going to lose it.

I think Sheikhu want to prove something but i am pretty sure he will lose one seat they should have given it to Chohan.

Agree with you Attock wasn't that bad even without Major we had one MPA from main Attock city in 2013 (Ijaz Bukhari uncle of Zulfi Bukhari). Sheikh Aftab lost urban vote but won his MNA seat against Amin because of the rural vote from Hazro tehsil that went for late Khanzada MPA. Late Shuja Khanzada home minister of Punjab had a very very good reputation and he saved MNA seat of Sheikh Aftab.

 

[Mian]

PTI should do us a favor and mention NA seats with the MPA seats under it to have an idea. After these new delims it's really hard to find the MPA seats under NA seats to judge how strong is the panel to have an idea.

 

[Mian]

It is first time in the history of Dir that a woman will contest GE and that too on PTI ticket. Hameeda Shahid will contest GE from PK10 Upper Dir.

Last time females in Dir were not even allowed to vote and this time we even have a candidate from there!

A moment of silence for Taliban Khan haters aka desi liberals.

In updated list Firdous Ashiq Awan name appear in NA72, Sialkot-1

Empty gesture. She isn't winning the seat. Will also impact PTI's chances on the NA seat above it. The Dir areas are very conservative.

Yeah, just saw it. That was a glaring omission. Probably the only truly winnable seat for PTI in Sialkot. Dar one was also winnable until Khawaja decision got overturned. Now it is 50-50. The rest 3 are lost causes.

 

[Mian]

Master stroke by Bilal Ejaz on NA84 Gujranwala as he brings Rana Umer Nazir on PP63 under him. This pp has 8-9 UCs based entirely on Rajput votes. A huge boast indeed. Umer's father Rana Nazir is contesting NA83

Looks like the focus have been going for strong MNA+MPA panels!

These gesture should be given time to time to give shut up call to desi liberal brigade always looking to find every little mistake of PTI. And i think there is a ECP rule too that every party will have to give 5% ticket on general seats to women.

 

[Mian]

He was in BNAP (Bahawalpur National Awami Party) and was runner up in 2013 with 47k vote, Winner was Syed Ali Hassan Gillani with 62k votes.

 

[awan_from_soon]

He was in BNAP (Bahawalpur National Awami Party) and was runner up in 2013 with 47k vote, Winner was Syed Ali Hassan Gillani with 62k votes.

This seat then looks quite well-placed for PTI with his old votebank+PTI votes+swing voters.

I hope the Nawab himself contests election on PTI ticket. He is a great character and a true electable. Every party wanted him but he ended up merging BNAP with PTI.

Makes sense in that context but that quota could easily be fulfilled in those Sindh provincial seats where there is no chance for PTI. I am sure most parties would follow this tactic of eyewash candidates. oth PTI made new district demarcations in Dir and was looking quite strong there, only to end up hurting their chances with gimmicks like these.

Yea chances are looking high now on some of these seats where PTI was nowhere to be seen. To give you an idea PTI had almost no credible name from Rahim Yar Khan in 2013 but now they got:

Makhdoom Mubeen Alam NA175 (Makhdoom Alam Anwer's son)
Makhdoom Khusro Bakhtiar NA177
Rias Mehboob NA178
Jawed Iqbal Warraich NA179

Now that most of the tickets are out, let's make a start predicting seat by seat for the ones we know the major candidates from both sides, from start to finish.

So first up is NA-1 Chitral, we know that Musharraf will contest from here. I think PPP and MMA candidates will get a lot of votes but PTI and APML should definitely emerge as the top two.

From what I have heard, APML are already strong here due to the Lowari tunnel. Add to that Musharraf as a major leader, and we should probably see APML retain this seat.

 

[hussain.r97]

Slightly more readable size! Other one was too big.

 

[Zeshan547]

NA-101 Faisalabad is almost confirm seat for PTI because Zulqarnain Sahi is PTI candidates, and Sahis are very popular and strong candidates, but PTI made a blunder for PP-97 Where Ajmal Cheema has been doing great work for Past several years and he was a sure shot for PP ticket but instead they opted for Muhammad Afzal Sahi who may still win the seat but it's really heart breaking for ignoring such a deserving candidate, where is the merit???? It's good to choose electables but you can't just look over your dedicated candidates like that. Over all PMLN still have strong hold on Faisalabad.

 

[Syed1]

Master Khattak is not really happy by these 2 because they hardly spent any time in their halqas.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Sources inside PTI are saying Ali Muhammad Khan and Shehryar Afridi may not be getting tickets majorly because of Pervaiz Khattak’s resistance</p>— Adeel Raja (@adeelraja) <a href="https://twitter.com/adeelraja/status/1005176815256854531?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 8, 2018</a></blockquote>

That is such stupid logic if you ask me.... yes there might be merit in the fact that Ali Muhammad Khan and Shreryar Afridi may have not spent enough time in their halqas but both are national level politicians and put forward the party policy quiet expertly in the media. They were the face of PTI in bringing forward unknowns into politics and making them into leaders. Stupid Khattak needs to be sidelined for just this. Sometimes you have to look at the bigger picture and not be swayed by petty things. It will be utterly stupid and bizarre if both don't get tickets. IK needs to step in ASAP.

 

[khanz141]

Those are Swat seats and PTI is going to face tough fight there.

It is going to be tough, because many consider Murad Saeed in the same boat as Ali Mohammad and such where they are great on national level but don't have that grass root connection with local voters on daily basis. Hence why they need all the help possible. Amjad is not that well known in PK 7 and that ticket should not have gone to him but rather someone from that halqa instead. Only his own PK 6 was enough for him.

Dr Arif Alvi vs Farooq Sattar vs Parvez Musharraf vs Jibran Nasir in NA-247 Karachi! PPP also strong here, not sure who their candidate is though.

 

[Mian]

That is such stupid logic if you ask me.... yes there might be merit in the fact that Ali Muhammad Khan and Shreryar Afridi may have not spent enough time in their halqas but both are national level politicians and put forward the party policy quiet expertly in the media. They were the face of PTI in bringing forward unknowns into politics and making them into leaders. Stupid Khattak needs to be sidelined for just this. Sometimes you have to look at the bigger picture and not be swayed by petty things. It will be utterly stupid and bizarre if both don't get tickets. IK needs to step in ASAP.

It's not stupidity if you ask me because i have heard many times that Ali isn't that strong in Mardan and locals are not in favor of him getting ticket and we have a better candidate than Shehryar in Kohat. So replacing them both increase our chances of winning thsoe seats

 

[Mian]

It is going to be tough, because many consider Murad Saeed in the same boat as Ali Mohammad and such where they are great on national level but don't have that grass root connection with local voters on daily basis. Hence why they need all the help possible. Amjad is not that well known in PK 7 and that ticket should not have gone to him but rather someone from that halqa instead. Only his own PK 6 was enough for him.

I see so do you think Murad will be able to win his NA seat? I heard Amir Muqam spent lot of federal funds there to dent PTI votebank

NA-101 Faisalabad is almost confirm seat for PTI because Zulqarnain Sahi is PTI candidates, and Sahis are very popular and strong candidates, but PTI made a blunder for PP-97 Where Ajmal Cheema has been doing great work for Past several years and he was a sure shot for PP ticket but instead they opted for Muhammad Afzal Sahi who may still win the seat but it's really heart breaking for ignoring such a deserving candidate, where is the merit???? It's good to choose electables but you can't just look over your dedicated candidates like that. Over all PMLN still have strong hold on Faisalabad.

PTI made more than a couple of these sacrifices Chohan in Pinid is another example but tbh i can't blame them they still have the memories of 2013 nightmares where they preferred dedicated candidates over electables on most seats

 

[Mian]

Slightly more readable size! Other one was too big.

This is going to be a 4 way fight APML vs PTI vs MMA vs PPP and if Musharraf contest from here i can see him winning this seat. MMA will probably fight for the second spot with PTI because last time Ji and JUIF had a combined 36000 (JI 20k JUIF 16k) votes from here while winner of APML had 29k and PTI had 24k votes and now JI and JUIF are going to contest under the umbrella of MMA and will also have the support of PMLN so things are looking really interesting here.

They could not explain Okara and Khushab. Then Sialkot NA74 justification is pretty lame. Those MPAs might be good but Mansoor has no penetration among voters, it remains a poor decision.

Yea even Tareen team said they have no justification for the blunder on Khushab and Okara seat. Okara is a confirmed work of SMQ there is no question abotu that

I see Maryam beti is on the run from Dr Yasmin. I wonder why?

Because Dr Yasmin showed some really good fight even in by election when these crooks had all the govt funds and resources to spent so imagine the result in general election.

So far Ayaz Sadiq ran away from NA 129 fearing Aleem Khan and Maryam ran away from NA 125 fearing Dr Yasmin Rashid. Both of them saw the trailer in by elections

Now let's see if Khawaja Saad contest against IK or runs away too for a safer seat.

According to reports the decision from NA74 Sialkot is expected to be changed soon as Ghulam Abbas group is now being given the NA ticket. Let's see

So running like a scary cat because they cant rig with govt funds is a change of strategy. Pathetic Nooras.

Dr Rizvi has started removing Shabaz Sharif's blue eyed bureaucrats. This will surely help.

I heard Pervez Rasheed went to Hamid Khan with PMLN ticket but Hamid politely refused and asked him to leave? PTI decided not to give Hamid ticket this time and PMLN saw it as an opportunity to include him in the party.

If we had a decent ECP and Criminal justice system, the Nooras would become a small criminal party with pockets of support.

Also if we had a less Jaahil quam.

PPP and PMLN are responsible for keeping them Jaahil and they don't spend on education. They have kept them Jaahil on purpose.

How is dhaandli going to be reduced at the most hotly contested seats? Are RO's going to be in the pocket of the noon league in Punjab?

Is Khwaja Saad Rafique going to force himself into ladies only voting stations? He will be desperate for dhaandli.

Any news on this?

NA-247 in Karachi is going to be highly contested.Mustafa Kamal vs Farooq Sattar vs Musharraf vs Arif Alvi v Jibran Nasir.

Nasir chose the worst constituency to run from lol.Only educated and/or socially aware people know him.

Talked to a couple of guys from NA61 (the biggest votebank seat of PTI in Rawalpindi) and according to them they are really angry for giving tickets to Kayani (NA) and Dr Shehzad (PP) so PMLN's Malik Ibrar and his brother will endup winning again from here due to angry voters of PTI.
