Politics - Pakistani 2018 General Election and post-election discussion

Which will be the top party after the upcoming general elections?

  • Total voters
    94
Looking at the weather forecast now, it doesn't look too bad. Most of the country is clear, some parts of Central and North Punjab, and maybe some parts of KPK may get on and off showers and thunderstorms in some pockets. No forecast for heavy rain though, which is good news.

I actually think we will more or less know who will win by 11 or 12 pm Pakistan time and not 9pm.

Remember there will be recounts on the day in very close seats. Candidates can demand that.

So the 2 am deadline doesn't mean much and this could go into 4 or 5 am Pakistan time.

There is no way all results will come in by 2 am.

I predict that several recounts will be done in Punjab in the neck and neck seats.

For example if a winner has 55000 seats and the runner up 53000 seats then the runner up can ask the RO for a recount. This will add another couple of hours to the time.

Drizzling here since 3 days, hope tomorrow will be a bright sunny day.
 
PTI should not include MQM in a coalition. I don't know why some of you guys are happy for this to happen.

They can't be trusted. History tells you that.

And who says that Altaf has really left them?
 
Do any of of you guys think that Imran needs to get rid of Imran Ismail and Ali Zaidi?

These two spend more time on Tv talk shows and even then they look sleepy most of the time.

Imran could have done much better in Karachi had he had a more energetic team that really tried to make inroads in Karachi rather than these two guys who seem to get fatter and fatter every year and look completely out of energy.

Faisal Vadia is good but surely Imran needs to look at his Karachi team again.
 
Guys, Look out for these three seats tomorrow:

1. Saad Rafique's (v Imran).
2. Khwaja Asif.
3. Rana Sanaullah.

These 3 are master riggers and they will try their best tomorrow to rig.

Yes, both really need to go, especially Imran Ismail. Firdous Naqvi needs to go too. I hope Imran Ismail loses his seat to Jibran Nasir because he literally brings no value or substance to the assembly, Jibran is someone who can really give PPP a tough time.

Faisal Vawda is fine, but the likes of Arsalan Taj Ghumman, Khurram Sherzaman, and Adeel Ahmed should also be given more responsibility.

Hopefully all the measures being taken to prevent rigging work out. I don't see any major rigging taking place in the presence of the army and CCTV cameras.

Imran Ismail can go no doubt but i think Ali Zaidi is a very reasonable guy. He represents PTI on media well and have seen lot of famous people and celebrities endorsing him as an honest person so he must have done something right. He was also one of bravest PTI rep even when MQM was still at it's peak.

Khurram Sherzaman is very good option and i hope this election will give us more new faces in assembly like Adeel, Arsalan etc.
 
JI people caught red handed with stolen ballots in DIR
PPP people caught red handed with Postal ballots in Sehwan
PMLN people caught red handed with Stolen ballots in Shangla
PPP people caught red handed with stolen ballots in UmerKot

but ofcourse they call it establishment rigging in favor of PTI.
 
A former police officer, Farrukh Waleed, is claiming that Rana Sanaullah made him conduct extrajudicial killings. He's on 92 News right now.

You don't give up.

I mean, no party has gained more from boot polishing then PMLN, from the mid 80s to the 90s, and then again in 2013, the only thing left was Nawaz and co. wearing a fuji uniform himself. The "Quaid" of the party has been rightly convicted.

You weren't that involved in posting about elections but from the past few weeks, you have been at it like no tomorrow. Kya tumhi bei koi lifafa tho nai milgiya?

When Nawaz was polishing military boots, I did not support him. My policy is simple - I will support any party that opposes military involvement in politics.

If tomorrow, Imran takes a u-turn and opposes the military, I will support him again. As far as my posting activity is concerned, I have always contributed to political threads regularly.

However, like everyone else, my activity has increased in the build up to the election because I am trying my best to educate the people.
 
Can some of the guys condense things for us?

which constituencies should we watch out for as the results start coming in. Also what do you guys think will be the best channel for updates?

We know your anti establishment stance is a lie. We showed you the thread when you apparently changed. You are looking for any rationale to back criminals and thugs, and it this point in time, this is the bandwagon you jumped on.

I am personally mainly going to stick with 92 News. They are fairly neutral, and have got very widespread and high quality coverage for the election.

Seats to watch out for:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Bellwethers can give an important indication of the direction of an election. 21 seats (20 in Punjab) have voted for the national winners in the past three elections. Watch out for these seats early on election night to see which way the swing voter is headed. <a href="https://t.co/abKEwCnNcV">pic.twitter.com/abKEwCnNcV</a></p>— Roshan Pakistan Opinion Polling (@RoshanOpinion) <a href="https://twitter.com/RoshanOpinion/status/1020161374775926784?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 20, 2018</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Also watch NA-245, NA-230, NA-260, NA-125, NA-135, NA-131, NA-126, NA-59, NA-67. Also keep an eye on Faisalabad and Gujranwala, and all of central Punjab in general. Karachi is worth keeping an eye on, especially NA-244, NA-249, NA-251, NA-242, NA-243.

Forgot to add, Sialkot seats are ones to watch too, especially Usman Dar vs Khawaja Asif!
 
I have decided not to visit dawn news page from today onward.Such a biased newspaper with full of lies.
 
In the UK we have a choice between;

1. Geo News.
2.Ary News.
3.Express News.
4. Samaa.
5.Dunya News.
6. 92 News.
7. Hum News.
8. C44.

To think 10 years ago there were only 2 news channels here which were GEO and Ary, we now have a huge choice.

I find Samaa to be good but will probably be flicking through all the above.

NA-252 is in Karachi West, do you mean that one? I originally said MQM-P will take this while PPP bag a large share of votes. After revisiting, I realized that deliminiations separated this seat from the main city, and hence, the Muhajir votebank has been totally cut off. I think this one will probably go to PPP now as this constituency is largely Sindhi and Balochi. Runnerup will be between PTI and MMA.

To everyone who thinks that media is lying through their teeth and not doing their REAL job. Media can not do their job because they are forced not to. If they talk about establishment meddling in the foreign policy, they’ll get banned. If they talk about the root cause of religious intolerance, they’ll get assassinated. If they talk about mafias they’ll be killed by the mafias. If they talk about political credentials of the politicians, they’ll be abused by the party supporters and certain section of establishment. If they talk about national security issues they’ll be abducted. Hell, our media can’t even openly say that we lost Kargil war because the moment they spoke the truth will be the death of their careers. They’ll be mobbed for speaking the truth. Let’s be honest. We don’t want the truth. So my request to PTI supporters, just stick to ARY. My request to PML-N supporters, just stick to Geo News and Dawn News. My request to PPP supporters, stop watching television all together. My request to MQM supporters, just stick to Sama news and metro news. ‘Ignorance is bliss’.

You're related to Aftab Jahangir? Goodluck to him! Very tough seat though, new deliminations have made it totally rural, otherwise, PTI got a good 30,000 votes from here.

I must say, some of the deliminations in Karachi are seriously dodgy. They are not all balanced by population, and some of the old constituencies have intentionally been cut so that there are more rural constituencies than before, it is directly favouring PPP who are looking good on 5-6 seats.

It is a fact, and in your eyes does that make this dog whistle journalism prescribing the murder of Imran Khan totally ok?

Would you feel similarly if Salman Taseer was substituted in for Liaqat Ali Khan, and Jibran for Imran Khan and the journalist framed the narrative in a similar way? Would you be arguing about how factual the piece was or would you be in wide eyed in astonishment at someone in a national newspaper composing a piece sympathetic to the murder of someone.
