MQM will join PTI's government on the following conditions :
-Administrative divisions in Sindh.
-Karachi/Hyderabad package.
-Full empowerment of local bodies.
-Local policing.
-Mass transit project.

They also want recounting on 8 seats.

Very reasonable demands, and these are things PTI would be looking to do for Karachi in any case.

This will be the best thing to happen to Karachi in a long time. Hopefully something good comes of it.

True. I think, in general, PTI need to work with the provincial government towards increasing Balochistan's general HDI, it is depressingly low ...

Do you think BNP are better for Balochistan than BAP?

Just trying to figure out where things in Balochistan stand.
 
For anyone looking for a recap on the 2013 campaign. I now feel better watching it but I think we had more steam in the jalsas back then than this time around. PTI should have won at least 60 seats if it were not for the systematic rigging that took place.

 
Interesting analysis by kashif Abbasi in a Geo tv show. According to him this would be a very weak government and would not last more than six months unless they deliver extra ordinarily.

IMO it would not be a weak government. 126+4+2 those would be our seats and plus our allies. Difference is 7 seats which can easily be bridged.

Not sure why is he spreading so much negativity.

PTI are completely safe to form federal government because PPP have explicitly said that they won't form government with PML-N, while MQM have said they will respect the mandate of the people, and vote for PTI's PM candidate whether they join the coalition or not. The main issue right now is whether or not they will be able to have a majority in the national assembly or not?

If MQM do not join the coalition (though, I think their chance of joining is 90%), then PTI need to make sure they win the vast majority of the 9 withdrawn/postponed seats. Without MQM, and assuming that 5 of the remaining 7 independents join PTI, they are sitting on 164. They need to win 9 of the remaining seats (including reserved seats).

Sardar Mengal's BNP will also join PTI I think, like the BAP, and on Twitter he said that they actually have 3 NA seats + 1 reserved for women, and hopefully Sheikh Rasheed's AML will get NA60 as well.

There are a lot of rubbish analysis coming out. After forming government, these seats will have bye-elections (most likely).

NA-35 Bannu
NA-53 Islamabad II
NA-55 Attock I or NA-56 Attock II
NA-69 Gujrat II or NA-64 Chakwal I (PML-Q)
NA-60 Rawalpindi IV
NA-96 Mianwali I
NA-103 Faisalabad III
NA-243 Karachi East II

Out of these seats, I am expecting to win Islamabad, Attock, Rawalpindi, and Mianwali for sure.

We are also probably ahead in Bannu, Faisalabad, and Karachi East, and even if we lose Karachi East, it will go to MQM, who will probably be our coalition partner.

The only one I am unsure about is Gujrat/Chakwal, but I think we will win given that we are now in government.

Oh yes, I didn't notice that the analysis has BNP in opposition. That's kind of stupid, considering they have already expressed that they want to work with PTI :))

We are comfortably ahead right now, the media is just trying to make things dramatic.

There is a tussle going on b/w PTI and AML on who to field for NA60. PTI local workers and MPAs want their own candidate while Sheikhu wants his nephew.

I don’t think PMLQ and Sheikhoo will ditch us. And I also feel we will win back most if not all the seats which we will vacate. No matter what we should get all independents on our side and win back all the future vacant seats.

Also expect JI bloc within MMA to vote for PTI in the PM elections. Sirajul Haq's conciliatory presser today hints towards it.

Forgot to add Shangla and Waziristan seats, which were cancelled due to low female turnout. I think we will win these due to being in federal government now.

Post bye election, we are set to have 162 seats. That is NOT a weak coalition at all, we could easily drop most of the parties in the coalition, and have a 3 party coalition while still maintaining a majority. Once again, it is not the ideal coalition, but it is a good one.

Good analysis. I am expecting the same but byeelections will be difficult to sail through for PTI with mixed results in the offing. I think Bannu will go to Durrani/Fazlu (whoever stands after their infighting), Shangla has the potential to swing to PTI, Mianwali will be tough to call on a sentimental level (they ditched PTI heavily in 2013 byes, maybe they won't do the same with PTI in power, but they definitely won't be happy with another shun), Islamabad would also be comfortable if there is no PTI infighting, Waziristan one is tough to call. Attock, Chakwal will go to PTI. The Faisalabad seat is touch and go, meanwhile NA-60 can go to a third force if AML and PTI issues are not resolved.

On the Karachi seat you have proposed to be vacated:

I don't want IK to give up NA-243 - it was one of the major reasons for PTI's inroads into Karachi and with the whole Wazire Azam Karachi Se campaign, Karachi is back in the fold of mainstream politics after so long, you wouldn't want to ditch it like that.

There is also a chance that this seat will go to Shehla Raza, if vacated, with PPP in provincial govt and all.

On the other hand, I am much more comfortable losing the Lahore seat. We will already be in the provincial govt IA and will work towards making massive inroads. We don't have this luxury in Sindh.

We could drop the Lahore one I guess.

The 'wazir e azam Karachi se' slogan was why I was uncomfortable with dropping Karachi's seat, but on the flip side, we also have a solid vote bank and good candidate (Rashid Godil) there. If we drop the Lahore seat, I think we are guaranteed to lose it.

Bannu may go to MMA, but we being in federal government might put it in PTI's favour. Mianwali will go to PTI IMO, because PTI will be in government, and we won by a bigger margin this time too. Chakwal will definitely go to PTI/PML-Q. I think Faisalabad will go to PTI, because again, we're in federal government. I am confident that the Rawalpindi issue will be solved too.

Shangla will swing to PTI due to being in fedeal government. Waziristan will either be IND or PTI. If it's an IND, he will probably join the government.

We should drop the Lahore seat. The victory difference is too small there. You can’t have a scenario where there is a sword looming over the head of the Prime Minister if the case goes on the election tribunal.

No other person can win against Saad Rafique. If IK vacates that seat, we will lose it 100%.

That is a good point and based on all analysis i think Imran Khan should retain Bannu seat to keep Maulana Fazal/Durrani out of parliament.

Mianwali seat can be won again as long as ticket is given to some popular local figure.
Karachi can be won again especially when people know PTI is in federal government or as Hussein said MQM is also partner.
Lahore is bit risky with such a close margin.
Islamabad one would be easiest to win out of all others.

Yeah, I think that is the most sensible course of action. Withdrawing from Karachi might upset Karachiites a bit, but they will forget that if PTI deliver.

by elections are usally always won by parties in the gov. because

- There supporter base is more active
- Opposition supporters are demoralized
- Neutral observers go with gov. in power

due to these factors i wont be suprised if saad rafique himself pulls out the by-election and uses excuse of rigging rather than face another embarrasement.
 
Jahangir Tareen memes are hilarious I have to say...

Top class
 
That means he will be leaving both his NA seats. Do you guys think we can win those back easily?

Oh actually I mixed up. I thought BNP (Akhtar Mengal) joined. It's BNP-Awami.

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] what do you think of him?
 
I know many PTI people are unhappy with PTI and Ik for inviting mqm into the goverment. But reality is PTI needs those seats to be safe untill the by-elections in federal as well as make a good opposition in Sindh to do something for Karachi . Alienating MQM to side with PPP would give allow PPP to pass any laws they want with 2/3 majority so Pti has to and should take Mqm along without compromising on ehtesab.

For anyone looking for a recap on the 2013 campaign. I now feel better watching it but I think we had more steam in the jalsas back then than this time around. PTI should have won at least 60 seats if it were not for the systematic rigging that took place.

Wow this made me so nostalgic! I had forgotten about Imran Khans fall and how so many people cried after that.

We really were robbed here. Easily could have had 50+ seats.

Agreed. Alienating MQM is not a good idea in any case, the current MQM is a far lesser evil than the old MQM, PPP, and PML-N, and I would go on to say that they are a relatively clean party now who have genuine concerns for Karachi.

I am not Mamoon but i will reply in simple line.

He was education minister of KPK, and you all know how Education flourished under his tenure.

So he is going to do a better job as CM as well.

Does a higher proportion of rejected votes in interior Sindh and Balochistan have any relation to the low levels of education in those areas? And hence, more people not stamping or folding the ballot correctly?
