Nah lol it's the absolute least I could do. Am genuinely ashamed of myself on the inside for not being able to make a difference.

You guys are the real heroes and warriors, and have the right to celebrate PTI's inevitable victory more than anyone iA. You deserve the best Pakistan. Thank you for voting in an attempt to make a difference. Pakistanis inside and outside of the country owe it to you all!
 
That said, I have work tomorrow and am gonna try to get some sleep now lol. Will be up by 9 PM PST so hope to wake up to good news.

Good luck everyone, Pakistan Zindabad, PTI Paindabad.

I’m from NA-244(Ali Zaidi).I think there will be good competition between Zaidi and Miftah Ismail(his main opponent).JI could also nip out this seat.

Interesting. If I may ask, which area of NA-244, its quite a big constituency. The report I got was in Gulistan e Johar.

My chachu is ex-MPA. He is contesting for MPA and my cousin for MNA. They are in a decent position.

But they aren't in PTI. We have a closely knit joint family where my brothers, father and everyone has actively campaigned for my uncle and cousin.

It was with heavy heart that I had to vote against my chahcha and cousin but I think I made the right decision voting for Bat. Although MPA and MNA candidates of PTI made their career under my uncle and don't have reputation and more likely to lose.

I which one is your constituency &#55357;&#56397;&#55356;&#57339;&#55357;&#56397;&#55356;&#57339;
 
I think presiding officer should be fired from his job for letting the cameraman get into the polling booth. As far as IK is concerned, everyone knew who he was going to vote. So it’s pretty pathetic by ECP to just single out IK in this case. I guess karma is going to catch up with him.
 
Remember guys it will only be when results start coming in that we will know which way these elections will go.

I remember hearing stories in 2013 about the party atmosphere and droves of PTI voters giving the impression that it was in the bag but we all know how that turned out.

So moral of the story is this is going to be VERY CLOSE in Punjab.

There are also droves of PMLN voters out in full force today.

I can assure you every result, seat by seat is going to be NAIL BITING.
 
hahaha watch this video guys :)))

Yeah this time don't celebrate before the actual announcement from the election commission. Last time I felt seats were stolen from pti to have a friendly opposition in PPP.

How were there consistent elections in Pakistan in all these years when there were at least 3 military dictators in the years mentioned?

Bro I predict a 50% to 55% overall turnout today judging by the low turnout in Sindh.

It looks like most people voted in the morning to 12pm.

Now the rate is slowing a bit.

Turnout must be very low in interior Sindh because Karachi has the biggest turnout it's ever had in a long time!

We had 2 elections under Musharraf (2002, 2008) one under Zia (non party based 1985), one under COAS Baig after Zia plane crashed (Benazir won 1988) and one under Yahya (Mujeeb's party won 1970)
 
I hope pti takes 5-6 seats in Karachi last time I was sure they had it but thapas changed the results. But this time many people were unhappy with pti and felt their vote was wasted last time hope they still come out and vote
 
I predict an overall turnout today of 56% to 58%.

PMLN have just formally asked for vote time to be extended by 1 hour to 7pm.

If Imran Khan doesn't win, it's obvious that the election is fudged. He should call a revolution as early as tonight if the correct results aren't put out IMO.

The positive from that if that even if it's 50%, it's more or less 50% genuine votes. The 52% in 2013 included a lot of dhandli waley votes.
