Ex-Pakistan PM Imran Khan's PTI sweeps crucial by-elections, paving way for its government in the country's most populous and bellwether Punjab province, local media and unofficial results show
Imran Khan's opposition PTI wins 15 of 20 assembly seats in the South Asian country's most populous and bellwether Punjab province, local media say. Ruling PML-N's Maryam Nawaz concedes defeat"with an open heart."
The PTI won 15 out of 20 provincial assembly seats, consolidating its lead for the post of the chief minister of Punjab, the country's political powerbase, local media reported citing initial results. These seats fell vacant last month, following the disqualification of 20 PTI lawmakers who had changed their loyalties and supported Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's son Hamza Shehbaz for the Chief Minister’s Office.
On Sunday, Khan said, "the only way forward from here is to hold fair and free elections under a credible election commission." PML-N vice president, Maryam Nawaz, the daughter of Nawaz Sharif, conceded the defeat, which is seen as a major setback for the ruling party in its stomping ground.
