A big win is being projected for
Pakistan Chief Imran Khan in the
Sunday
bipols that were conducted on eight
National Assembly and three
provincial
assembly seats Trends show Imran
Khan
and his party candidates maintaining
lead in at least eight seats so far
and
according to Pakistan media reports
the
former prime minister of the country
Imran Khan has managed to sway six
out
of the seven National Assembly seats
that he was contesting while PTI
candidates are maintaining a significant
leave in carnival and bawal nagar
constituencies here PTI supporters
they've already started celebrating
the
victory
[Applause]
all right
now on Sunday close to 4.5 million
people were supposed to cast their
votes
to choose their leaders as 101
candidates from different political
parties including the independence
for
contesting the polls across three
provinces Punjab khyberbaktankwa and
Sindh these elections have been seen
as
a litmus test for Imran Khan's
popularity who has been at the
center of
Pakistan politics since his Aster
from
the prime minister's post
imran's Big Win may give a massive
boost
to his political turmoil against the
incumbent Sharif government and
according to Media reports the PTI
Chief
is also planning a protest march to
Capital Islamabad this month seeking
fresh elections in the country a
demand
that has constantly been denied by
the
coalition government
now for more on this we're now being
joined by Pakistan bureau chief anas
malikanas thank you for joining us
what
is the latest on this how
significant do
you think this win will prove to be
politically
well last question first the
significance of this win is there uh
it's uh how you look at it the glass
half full or the glass half empty
PTI
has managed to retain six out of its
own
eight seats on which the poles were
being held all six have been cringed
by
PTI chairperson Imran Khan uh one
has uh
the other two on upon one of them he
has
lost in Karachi and the other one
the daughter of the former Pakistani
foreign
she has also lost her seat to the
People's Party candidate uh Musa
gilani
now it's again on the part of the
Pakistan people's party but by and
large
given the polarized environment that
had
been and he had seen how political
forces had literally ganged up
against
Imran Khan so it was seen as a
competition between Imran Khan
versus
the Allied government or the Allied
parties clearly in has emotional
Victor
given the official or given the
pattern
of the inefficient and final count
the
that Imran Khan has retained six
seats
whereas The People's Party has
gained to
him right absolutely honest now we
have
seen Imran Khan has been at odds
with
the Shabbat Sharif government do you
think Imran Khan will be able to
cement
his position further
well yes this will come as a booster
uh
especially uh given that the Long
March
that was highly talked and
anticipated
about uh this will cement his
position
going forward that the people will
do
still trust him irrespective of
whatever
the campaign what he what he calls
is a
smear campaign uh was launched
against
him and that he has the support and
enjoys the popularity among the
masses
uh that would something further
solidify
his position going forward and we
might
see that his anger or agitation uh
uh
converting into something much more
tangible going towards the Long
March
which was which is being talked
about
for over a month for which Imran
Khan
has been going from City to City
taking
uh pledges taking Allegiance Oaths
uh so
that will definitely come as a moral
booster we got the report or ground
report on the dilem of Imran Khan
and
going forward with regards to his
long
march but that dilemma would
considerably uh would considerably
uh
cut down by a greater number or by a
greater percentage with this win him
all
right thank you so much for bringing
us
