Is it just me or anyone else also noticed that PMLN never attacked SMQ the VC of PTI but their guns are always pointing at Tareen? (even before the electables joinings the trend was same)

They weren't following it when they pitched Ayesha's sister, Arifa, against Khakwani. And announced their own PP panel too. I'd be careful with these guys. They seem like quite the opportunists.
I must commend Jehangir Khan Tareen. He has nothing to gain from these elections in terms of seats etc but the manner in which he has clinically increased Imran's chances by working tirelessly to convince electables is the sort of effort that wins you an election.
He's not in politics for the money. He had his own epiphany that led him to join Imran a few years ago and he is working hard for Naya Pakistan. Also Chaudry Sarwar has been working hard behind the scenes.
Let's not be too harsh on SMQ. He's quite a good guy but he's finding it difficult to release himself from baraadari/clan politics. Despite this flaw he's a tremendous asset and he's going to be very effective when PTI comes into government inshallah.
PTI made huge mistakes in 2013 in preparing for the elections. They've made mistakes again now in the run up to these elections but they are getting better.
These things happen and it's not easy.
But inshallah it will all come together on July 25th.
SMQ does not overly criticize N league either. After ditching PPP both N league and PTI wanted him in their party but SMQ saw better deal with PTI.
JKT was planning a clean party of clean politicians even before 2011 PTI jalsa but when PTI emerged as third force he joined this party. He was going both against N league and PPP when PTI was not yet established as a political force. There was an article in Dawn around 2010 that establishment was trying to create third force with the help of people like JKT. It is not clear however whether launch of a 3rd political force was a mission of JKT or establishment because very shortly afterwards 3rd force in PTI came to the fore.
It does not mean that SMQ still has links with N league , JKT only has had more clout, with his riches, his influence over electables and his reported closeness with establishment. JKT is clearly more powerful than SMQ , that's why N league attack him more.
Furthermore, SMQ and his zamanat zabat group are those who are bringing party disagreements to the media and N league are simply trying to score a point or two with that narrative that PTI does not has clean people in their ranks either. They are just traditional as N league or any other political party.

SMQ thinks we are dumb? He is saying Tareen organised the dherna outside Bani Gala while most of us know SMQ is the one close to nazryaatis and and the demands of the workers are what SMQ have been saying. For example dherna people were saying don't give ticket to Bosan in Multan (and guess what SMQ is against Bosan not Tareen)
SMQ is against Bosan,Aun Abbas Bappi and Nazir jutt family. SMQ also wants seat adjustment with Jamshed Dasti. JKT has different position on these cases. SMQ also did not want ticket be awarded to Ibrahim Khan in Multan but to Nawab Liaqat.
These differences come from SMQ. JKT has not h=gone public with inside fighting though.
The real fight for ticket is being fought between Sikander Bosan and Ahmad Dher in Multan.
[MENTION=135]Waseem[/MENTION] thoughts on PML-N tickets?
They still look very strong, South Punjab looks weak and one can see lack of interest from big names. Having said that, it won't be walkover in South Punjab for PTI either as PMLN still have some big name but they only look weal as compared to 2013.
They still look reasonably strong in rest of Punjab though, most big names are still there except few places here and there, only difference is they have very strong competition from PTI this time as opposed to 2013 and voters trend suggests people are finally ready to give PTI one chance which again does not mean outright victory but rather much better competition than 2013.
I think PMLN will get around 70 seats in Punjab (last time it was around 110?) but if PTI can get over this ticket mess and run a fierce campaign then PMLN could be restricted to 60 seats.

Correct me if i am wrong but isn't there a candidate who is given 3 NA ticket and 2 PP tickets by PMLN in south punjab? that shows how bad the situation is there for them. At least 3 NA candidates in Punjab returned their PMLN tickets and are so far going Ind
That would be Haroon Bukhari from Muzaffargarh. 2 NA and 2 PP tickets.
Also, do you know the names and NAs of those who have turned down tickets and are contesting as independents?
I'm suprised that Sheikh Waqas Akram has refused a noon ticket for Jhang.

[MENTION=138980]TalentSpotterPk[/MENTION], so the national tv doesnt even show the most popular leader in the country and apparently he is part of the establishment and they cant get him on national tv. Whats going on? Democracy Noora style?PTV is finally going to do an interview of IK today. I don't remember them showing even his pic in last 5 years thanks to PMLN govt and if i am not wrong there was no interview of him before 2013 on PTV?
Ali Muhammad Khan officially gets ticket, it was always pending (not denied) so media created HUGE issue for nothing!!!
Farrukh Altaf's ticket from Jehlum taken back, would go to Saqlain. Farrukh is Fawad Chauhdry's cousin and they kept Saqlain out, hopefully Fawad won't take this as insult and leave PTI.
Tickets updated on http://insaf.pk/public/insafpk/pti-candidates-election-2018
Ayesha Nazir Jutt loses her NA162 Vehari ticket to Khalid Mahmood (not sure who he is but both PTI and Ayesha will most probably lose now, can't blame PTI here though).
Sikandar Bosan gets ticket from NA 154 Multan
NA141 Samsam Bukhari's ticket taken back, no replacement candidate announced yet
NA113 Strong candidate Riaz Fatiyana gets the ticket, much more stronger candidate but his loyalty has been shaky before so not sure how this will go.
Most if not all wrong ticket decisions have been corrected this shows IK and PTI do listen to the geniune concerns of their workers! Aayi Aayi PTI
Exactly, majority of people who raised concerns seem to be satisfied with decisions now.
Of course those denied tickets are never going to be happy but justice has bee done in the end (in 95% cases) so this was a marathon effort and every possible effort was made.
PTI going with as good candidates as possible so no excuses.
Great start to the campaign in Mianwali today.

PTV coverage of campaigning will be crucial. A few good interviews on PTV and some coverage of Imran Khan's speeches will do wonders for PTI.

PTV covered full speech of IK today from Mianwali Jalsa and tomorrow they are going to interview IK.

Brilliants decisions specially taking back Samsam Bukhari and Farukh Altaf tickets.
Good Effort in this thread keep it up , just a quick question why PTI finalized ticket on only 229 Seats out of 272. what about 43 left open it cant be seat adjustment on all of them. Some can be understood like PMLQ, interior Sindh , Sheikh Rasheed,
Looks like Avenfield verdict might be announced within the next 2 weeks. The defence is about to finish their closing arguments.
I don't think Nawaz and Maryam will be returning anytime soon.
If they are found guilty in the Avenfield reference then it's almost certain that Maryam won't be allowed to contest the elections.
What do you if, after the MOS revelations yesterday they need to be ready to do bird, and also there should be new cases started soon with billions more in unexplained wealth.
I can confirm that NA115 Jhang is a 99% guaranteed seat for PTI inshallah. Ghulam Bibi Barwana who joined from PMLN joined PTI last month and has been given the ticket.
I can also give you news via ground reporting from my cousin who was there a few days ago that she is going to blow away the opposition inshallah and has massive support.
Alhamdulillah.
That's another almost guaranteed MNA seat for PTI from Punjab.
I can also confirm from ground reporting via another relative that Toba Tekh Singh is showing strong signs of a massive PTI wave. All news and ground reality suggests that they will do well here also inshallah.
This is news from literally 2 days ago via ground realities.
Just look how quickly PTI is starting to build momentum in Punjab.

PTV's role has decreased to a very minimal level. It was a powerful propaganda medium until 2008 elections but now even very remote villages have cable operators.
NA 66 mentions Farrukh on website list.
Yes Mian Bro something special is starting to happen in Punjab, especially since last week. Alhamdulillah.
People are starting to feel the need for change finally. The Jaahil segments are still going to vote PMLN but now a wave is building. From the undecided to the fed up voter. From the College student to the man struggling to feed his kids......Allah is putting PTI in their hearts and minds.

What do you think of Karachi ticket distribution? Subhan Ali Saahil has been ignored.
