Abbottabad by-election: Fight breaks out, polling halted
By Dawn.com

ABBOTTABAD: Polling in the PK-45 constituency, Abbottabad-II, was suspended on Thursday after a fight broke out between the workers of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N), DawnNews reported.

The by-election was to be held today in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Abbottabad town.

Stiff competition was expected between PTI’s Ali Asghar Khan and PML-N’s Farid Abbasi.

Around 118,000 voters are registered in the provincial assembly constituency.

The PK-45 seat in the KP Assembly was won by Sardar Mehtab Abbasi in the 2013 general elections. He vacated the seat when he was appointed as the governor of the province. The seat has been won by the Abbasi family since 1988.

If it's happen in Karachi more than 100 posts crosses by that time. Now let's watch how both parties defend it.

 

[Leader]

#PTI Strongly condemn attack on PTI voters by PMLN at Arwari at UC Pluk

 

[Fracker]

Strongly Condemn attack by terrorist supporters on poor PML-N Voters.

See, anyone can speak like the way he wants. Problem comes for the proofs. And IK still has to provide 100 of them for the false claims he made so far. That's why I call him a liar. #NoRespect

If KPK govt was unable to control the situation they should have asked Punjab, we would have sent Police to keep the law and order in control

PTI candidate was educated and challenged family politics. lost by a small margin as compared to general election.
PTI change has lost a election, but the idea has won again !
