PTI just fell to 111 on Samaa, but so did the amount of constituencies reporting, so nothing to worry about for now.

 

[Badsha]

Independents is also a win for us

 

[hussain.r97]

 

[enkidu_]

Independents is also a win for us

Independents and minor/regional parties (outside the status quo parties) are a potential win.

 

[Strike!]

I'm just staying awake for Punjab result.. Been up for 19 hours now..

 

[hussain.r97]

Yousuf Raza Gillani has lost his seat in Multan! PTI clean sweep!!

 

[Badsha]

Multan is PTI

 

[shaaik]

Wajahat Saeed's cover also seems to be coming off... I just can't believe it. I hope my hunch is wrong..

 

[Badsha]

almost 50 percent results in and PTI still winning

With independents PTI can make government there

 

[shaaik]

Leading marginally though ..

 

[mmkextreme_1]

We need majority to have first dig...some independents are basically lotas

 

[enkidu_]

Dunya news still showing pmln leading in Punjab with 132 against ptis 124.. we can't afford to let go of Punjab..

Independents/minor parties (like PML-Q) will swing PTI's way.

 

[shaaik]

With independents PTI can make government there

But if pmln gets the majority, they will be get the first shot at wheeling and dealing..

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Leading marginally though ..

Can't remember which news channel it showed that Ayaaz Sadiq went back in the lead but don't know if it was old news

 

[shaaik]

Can't remember which news channel it showed that Ayaaz Sadiq went back in the lead but don't know if it was old news

Could be but when I checked he was leading by some 400 votes.. it's neck to neck there

 

[hussain.r97]

According to ECP at 50% vote counted, PTI are leading on 114 NA seats.

In Punjab Assembly, the position (according to ECP) is:
PML-N - 128
PTI - 123
IND - 31

 

[shaaik]

What's wrong with Habib akram , he's all of a sudden become neutral.. he was such an adherent supporter of pmln.. lot of people changing goal posts it seems ..

 

[hussain.r97]

According to HamariWeb.

 

[Badsha]

I have enjoyed Samaa graphics but the one with military war is so stupid and childish.

 

[hussain.r97]

According to HamariWeb.

I think above NA it should say 249/272, and above PS it should say 109/130.

 

[hussain.r97]

Even the anchors don't quite understand why it's there )

Good news. Let's go close that gap even further.

 

[hussain.r97]

According to 92 News.

 

[saeedhk]

We need to win in Punjab.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

According to 92 News.

Come on, still 28 seats left...we really need to pull a majority!

 

[Badsha]

Samaa reporting Muslim League N leading on all 11 seats in Lahore BUT only by few hundred votes right now..

EDIT now on 4 pti ahead. it is back and forth

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Samaa now reporting 117 NA seats for PTI

 

[hussain.r97]

Samaa reporting Muslim League N leading on all 11 seats in Lahore BUT only by few hundred votes right now..

EDIT now on 4 pti ahead. it is back and forth

It's ridiculously close in Lahore. Those 4 seats are the difference between adding an extra party to PTI's coalition government or not.

 

[Slog]

Karachi was always more conductive to PTI, but MQM under Altaf did not allow for an environment where PTI could win. Without Altaf, Karachiites have campaigned with absolute freedom, no fear, and they have chosen the party and ideology that resonates with them the most.

Also PTI had more effort campaigning this time.

Can you imagine that in 2013 Imran Khan didn't even have ONE jalsa in Karachi

 

[iHammad]

114 for PTI as per ARY

 

[hussain.r97]

PTI ahead on 128 seats right now.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Samaa in its map analysis showing 128 for PTI

 

[mmkextreme_1]

PTI ahead on 128 seats right now.

I think this includes predictions, not sure though

 

[hussain.r97]

I think this includes predictions, not sure though

I think it actually includes seats that are only 5% counted and all.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Hoping we can get at least 6 seats from Lahore

 

[iHammad]

I think Samaa are jumping the gun a little bit no ?

 

[mmkextreme_1]

I think it actually includes seats that are only 5% counted and all.

Yes, your right. I misunderstood.

[mmkextreme_1]

Any updates on Aleem Khans seat?

 

[hussain.r97]

Popular vote figures different to the usual.

 

[Strike!]

Any updates on Aleem Khans seat?

He's trailing by 5000 according to Express news.

 

[Badsha]

Any updates on Aleem Khans seat?

Way too close to think about it yet. Have to wait for a final result on that one.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

He's trailing by 5000 according to Express news.

I think those results were old?

 

[hussain.r97]

Any updates on Aleem Khans seat?

On Geo's election website.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Has anyone seen anything about Sailkot? Last I knew PTI was ahead in 2 and losing in 2.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

On Geo's election website.

Thanks bro

Way too close to call still! Could swing either way, really hope we can win this seat.

 

[iHammad]

Ayaz Sadiq haar jaye toh maza aa jaayega

 

[Badsha]

Now one dunya guy saying Yasmin Rashid is ahead... still can't know anything

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Guys quick question, so will PTI nominate the Presidential candidate as well? How does that process work?

 

[hussain.r97]

Has anyone seen anything about Sailkot? Last I knew PTI was ahead in 2 and losing in 2.

PML-N sweeping. Usman Dar vs Khawaja Asif is very very close.

 

[iHammad]

I need Khawaja Asif to lose

 

[hussain.r97]

Guys quick question, so will PTI nominate the Presidential candidate as well? How does that process work?

I think PTI nominate a candidate, and the opposition can nominate one too. Whichever one gets the most votes in the National Assembly will win and become President.

 

[saeedhk]

PTI leading on 9 seats out of 10 in Faisalabad.

 

[Badsha]

Firdous Ashiq Awan useless as always

 

[Badsha]

N is on 64 now.. N needs to stay under 70 and then even 114 PTI is enough

 

[shaaik]

I think PTI nominate a candidate, and the opposition can nominate one too. Whichever one gets the most votes in the National Assembly will win and become President.

Doesn't matter. What's the fun of choosing a golden zero..

 

[mmkextreme_1]

PML-N sweeping. Usman Dar vs Khawaja Asif is very very close.

Isn't Ghulam Abbas PTIs?

 

[shaaik]

Firdous Ashiq Awan useless as always

I though she could spring a surprise or 2.. very disappointed in her..

 

[Couch Cricketer]

I think PTI nominate a candidate, and the opposition can nominate one too. Whichever one gets the most votes in the National Assembly will win and become President.

President is elected by the Senate next Senate election are in 2021 so PTI won't have neough seats to elect a president until after 2021 Senate elections.

 

[Strike!]

Ejaz Chaudhary loses NA-134 according to Dunya news.

 

[saeedhk]

Samaa:128 for PTI

 

[Badsha]

Ejaz Choudhry loses to PML N in lahore. Didn't expect much from him

 

[iHammad]

Samaa:128 for PTI

ARY is still at 114

2/3 majority for PTI in KPK.

 

[Badsha]

Okay final results are pouring in!

 

[hussain.r97]

N league saying Ayaz Sadiq is winning by 10K. Please be wrong.

No way, this seat is really tight!

 

[Badsha]

N league saying Ayaz Sadiq is winning by 10K. Please be wrong.

Yep. hearing that too... but PTI destroying it in Karachi!

 

[Badsha]

Lahore still looks like N league's... although not as much. Don't care too much if we take majority.

 

[hussain.r97]

President is elected by the Senate next Senate election are in 2021 so PTI won't have neough seats to elect a president until after 2021 Senate elections.

It's not just senate I think? All the assemblies have a joint sitting.

The President of Pakistan is indirectly elected by the Electoral College of Pakistan - a joint sitting of the Senate, National Assembly and Provincial Assemblies. Each elector casts a different number of votes. The general principle is that the total number of votes cast by members of Parliament equals the total number of votes cast by provincial legislators. Also, legislators from larger states cast more votes than those from smaller provinces. The actual calculation for votes cast by a particular state is calculated by dividing the state's population by the number of seats, which is again divided by the number of legislators from the state voting in the Electoral College. The constitution further states that election to the office of President must be held no earlier than sixty days and no later than thirty days before the expiration of the term of the incumbent president
