Tuesday, April 02, 2013 - Lahore—Pakistan Muslim League-N not ready to give a chance to Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) to win a single seat from Lahore, has won the first phase of political war by getting psychological dominance over its political opponents including PPP and PTI even prior to general elections.

Knowing that a weak candidate could turn the victory into defeat, PML-N chief Mian Nawaz Sharif took the affairs of awarding tickets to PML-N candidates in his own hands in Lahore and decided to contest elections from NA 120 against PTI candidate Chaudhary Asghar Gujjar while Mian Shahbaz Sharif will contest elections from NA 128 against PTI candidate Mansha Sindhu. Similarly Hamza Shahbaz Sharif will face Waleed Iqbal, a grandson of Allama Iqbal, who has submitted his nomination paper from the platform of PTI.

According to some political analysts, both the political parties PML-N and PTI have kept the ace of the trumps in secret and not showing them at this stage but apparently PML-N has opted for “Big Names” strategy in Lahore.

PML-N is also trying to make alliance with Jamat-e-Islami and other political parties in Lahore to tackle PTI. PML-Q and PPP alliance is also waking up and under the leadership of Mian Manzoor Watto, PPP has also hoped for some stronger presence in Lahore but failed to stir political ripples in Lahore. It was a prevailing impression few months ago that all these three constituencies were being considered having reasonable vote bank of PTI but the overall scenario in Lahore changed since the last six months as PML-N regained its strength in the capital provincial by lobbying strong local factions and initiating mega project of Metro Bus Service. Now all is going to in favor of PML-N though PPP and PML-Q alliance failed to stir ripples in Lahore. Furthermore, Jamat-e-Islami is likely a big alliance of PML-N in the upcoming general elections. This changing scenario compelled the PTI leadership to change their election strategy and Imran Khan has decided to focus Lahore to place influential and powerful candidates from all the constituencies of Lahore but apparently failed to bring a winning candidate against PML-N bigwigs except by announcing his own name to combat Mian brothers from NA 126. Imran Khan was interested to award PTI ticket to Zaheer Abbas Khokhar from the constituency of NA 128 but now Khokhar families unanimously decided to nominate Malik Karamat Khokhar their joint candidate.

Former PPP MPA and runner up of last general election from NA-128, Karamat Khokher has joined PTI along with his entire influential group of the constituency. His close relative Zaheer Abbas Khokher won from NA-128 in the 2002 general elections on PPP ticket but joined PPP-Patriot, a rebel group of party which later merged into PML-Q. In the 2008 elections, Karamat Khokher, the head of this group along with Zaheer Abbas joined PTI. Zaheer Abbas also contested a by-election on PTI ticket from PP-160. According to PTI claims, he had defeated PML-N with big margin but the ruling party rigged the elections.

To cause more dent to PTI hull in Lahore, Mian Shahbaz Sharif his also submitted his nomination paper to contest elections from the provincial constituency PP 161.

PTI has decided to give ticket to Hamid Meraj, a son of former provincial minister Mian Meraj Din from NA 123. Hamid Meraj remained part of PML-Q for almost a decade and contested three polls but remained unsuccessful. In the 2001 local body elections, Mian Hamid Meraj lost the election of union council (UC) Nazim. In the 2002 general elections, he was awarded ticket from PP-144 but lost to PML-N’s Chaudhry Akram Gujjer.

Although PTI received 322 applications, including 84 received for the National Assembly where 238 party members applied for the provincial seats, starting from PP-137 and conclude at PP-161 but maximum applications had been received from NA-126 where 16 party members want receive the party ticket.

According to the PTI sources, earlier Imran Khan wanted to contest elections from NA126 but now he changed his mind. Imran could combat elections from NA 122 or from NA 125. The sources claimed that Imran Khan could finalize NA 125, an influential constituency of PTI leader Aleem Khan.

Accordingly, NA-127 and NA-128 are semi rural constituencies and NA 129 and NA 130 are rural seats of Lahore. PTI will give a tough fight on NA-123 and NA-125 and may be on NA-128 if Zaheer Khokhar remains firm with PTI as NA-128 is a personality vote of Khokhars not much party vote of PTI.

On the other hand, NA-118-NA and NA-122 are too hard to win for PTI since they are of old Lahore and mostly Kashmiri Butt, Araen baradari, Jutt and baradaris of interior Lahore and walled city may not switch over to PTI.

Sounds more like PML-N is in a psychological disarray considering Nawaz Sharif had an option to take on Imran Khan in Lahore and did not go against him on NA-125... why? Why NA-120?

Lahore se bahar ring road se laray ga Nawaz Sharif?

believe me in ki Lahore mein bhi or bahir bhi phatti pari hai in waqt....

Nawaz sharif khud Lahore say jhet giya tou bari baat hogi...
 
Source is nice too...
It is PTI who has the psychological adavantage over others.
 
Everyone from day one knew Nawaz Sharif is contesting from NA-120 but it was the brave Imran khan :omghaha: who kept changing his constituencies. and Pmln has brought forward any NEW big names, Nawaz Sharif and Shehbaz Sharif always contest from here and Hamza Shehbaz has also worked very hard during mush years ( Pmln success in Lahore in 2008 was mainly due to Kh Saad and Hamza ) We all knew they will contest from here. Simple
 
how come big-name contesting elections has "won the psychological war" ? Ganja chahy chand pe ja ke election contest karay ganja hai aor Shobaz chahy apnay ghar say election laray hai to wohi shobaz :D

But salute to these paid clowns of PMLN who keep proving their worth.. p a t h e t i c !

How did everyone know when Nawaz just announced this now? People know when nomination papers are filed. Imran Khan did it first and just switched once from NA-126 to NA-125, while NS had not chosen by then.

Baat toh tab thi ke bahaduri se IK ka mukabla karta, NS.

Why NA-120? NA-125/Cantt and surrounding areas is a populated region. It will be nice, airport se utarte saath Imran Khan ka ilaqa ayega.

because he doesnt need to, thats what they are showing their party strength by putting 2nd tier leadership against PTI's main man. you will know the reason since Lahore result will come in much earlier than country side and when news hits that Mr. XYZ is winning against Imran and lot of middle ground people will turn towards PMLN.

by the way PMLN in disarray?? you should watch yesterdays Khara Sach and see for yourself what kind of troubles PTI is having directly from the mouth of your our.
 
Okay I wasted a few valuable seconds skimming over this... however I found not one, not even one thing that explains how PMLN has won the psychological war. Even if they have its only psychological wars they can win. In reality they fail to win any war.

He doesn't need to contest against Imran, he doesnt need to debate against Imran - Yeh shair hai ya ghadda? :D
 
ANy site or something through which one can see that which constituency is which area?
 
........... ;)

PMLN was probably dreaming. Or maybe it was playing video games. There they beat PTI. :lol:

Maaro aur bongi show baazi... When NAWAZ Sharif decides to go against PTI second tier on NA-120 how can you say it is PML-N who is sending 2nd tier for IK. The opposite is true since PTI nominations were announced several days ago!

Truth is if NS had fought from NA-126 even where IK has left, he would have had faced a major defeat since you know that area is parhi likhi kaum area and PML-N bongis won't work. He left to contest on the outskirts on the ring road surrounding areas...
