8 Reasons Why Pakistan Needs Imran Khan to Become the Next Prime Minister

[Kabira]

Wow, that is a big change from you to say that PTI will replace PMLN, and secondly PTI wanting to annihilate PMLN from Punjab is not a problem, its a strategy and all political parties have to come up with strategies to win seats so they can form govt and bring in the policies that they have promised the people.

I agree that in KPK they will need to win a lot more seats than they did last time. But here is the break up of National Seats and you can see that winning majority seats from Punjab is the only way to form govt in Center.

Total Seats = 272
Punjab = 148
Sindh = 61 ( Karachi = 20 seats )
KPK = 35
Balochistan = 14
FATA = 12
Islamabad = 2
Seats required to form govt = 172

As you can see even if we add all the seats of the rest of the country and ISB the total seats = 124. So they have to dislodge PMLN in Punjab to form govt, there is no other way.

172? You only need 137 seats to form government, rest are reserved seats so doesn't count. And 25-30 seats in Punjab are won by independents who go with winning party. PPP in 2008 got 6 million votes in punjab and in 2013 half of it. If 3 million vote left for PPP is picked up by PTI then they will win many more seats in 2018.

But PTI is expecting to form government in punjab and Islamabad at the same time. Which is why it looks difficult for them.

If work is as amazing in KP as they claim then PTI need to win 45 seats in KP/FATA out of 47. In Sindh they need to win 10 seats and Balochistan 5. total 60 seats

Now in punjab/islamabad they need to win just 1/3, around 50 seats. Total 110 seats won.

To form government in Islamabad they will need to convince some independents and maybe make alliance with other small party to reach 137. Even N in 2013 only won around 120 seats.

An insane charsi, a zaani having a child out of wedlock, and a former play-boy being the leader of a Muslim nation of 200 millions? No way! People of Pakistan are not beghairat like these pin-head keyboard warriors of that crook. IK can never become Pak PM through popular vote. Never.

Even pure water when stagnant becomes filthy and stale. Its time for Pakistan to move forward from the current lot of pious (NS vs American journalist - Girlfriend scandal), honest (SS - ending loadshedding in a month/Raymond Davis), Clean (Khwaja Rental and Kwaja Paragon) rulers.
Do use google if personal allegiance has your brain handicapped.

My worry is about the ongoing arrivals of rain frogs which continue to parashoot into PTI. IK is demanding a very colossal leap of faith from the voters regarding these thugs coming on board PTI.

I am prepared to take this leap of faith because I see no one better than IK with Asad Omer and the likes at his side. Lets hope our voting masses are able to make the same judgement come next elections, in sha Allah.
What worries me deeply is the clear and present threat to IK, and not just from the internal status quo but beyond our borders.

What are the odds of him winning? Any chance?

Call me crazy but I have faith in the guy. Things can and will change, Pakistan is an unpredictable force. Its up to people at the end of day, they have to change themselves.

The next elections are not far away. We will know soon enough.

It seems that Imran Khan really stand a chance. Everything is dependent on Panama's case result. Even if sherif's come out of it, they won't get the majority as they are expecting. Imran Khan needs to really focus on uneducated classes, and stop boycotting anyone and don't have to react at every Tom, dick and Harry comment.

The main thing that Imran Khan should focus on is, what would he do after becoming the prime minister. He must work on his policies and things. People would have too much expectations from him , they would ask for too much in too little time. Imran must prepare himself, as people impression are are made in seconds. He would really fall down faster after becoming p.m and not dilevering the change he promised.
A single small corruption scandle would shake his government unlike it to to ppp and pmln. People accept that they are corrupt to the core, but they would be expecting great things and corruption free environment from imran Khan.

His government in kpk has not impressed much, imran have such a good credebility in international world , could have done so much to bring investment in kpk. They could have made the metro trains through cheapest and efficient means. They could really have start grand projects, focus on tourism and so much more but sadly nothing has been done.
