Shangla police on Monday arrested three suspects, including an official of Pakistan Post, over charges of stealing postal ballots, DawnNewsTV reported.

Police recovered the ballots from a vehicle and arrested the local PML-N leader and his relative who were allegedly trying to steal the postal ballots from the post office in Alpuri, said SHO Sadiq Khan.

“Case has been registered against the accused under Section 169 and 170 of the Election Act, 2017,” the police official said.

A sack containing postal ballots was recovered from the possession of PML-N leader Muhammad Afzal and his cousin Bakht Sher, police said. Moreover, police also arrested Pakistan Post official Bashirullah who was a resident of the area.

The operation to recover the stolen postal ballots was carried out on the complaint of Liaqat Yousafzai, whose brother Shaukat Yousafzai is contesting elections from PK-23 Shangla on PTI’s ticket.

Earlier on Saturday, Sehwan police arrested five officials of the education department for tampering with postal ballots in PS-80 (Jamshoro) — former Sindh chief minister Syed Murad Ali Shah’s constituency.

Shah — already tipped by the PPP leadership as the future chief minister — is facing Sindh United Party’s (SUP) president, Syed Jalal Mahmood Shah, in the upcoming election.

According to police, SUP activists had caught four education department officials tampering with postal ballots that are meant for government employees on official duty during elections.

Besides, additional district coordinator for the national programme, Shama Gulani and four other government employees, Khalid Zahoor Baig, Arbab Zadi, Kalsoom and Jamna, were arrested on Sunday after they were booked on the allegations of marking postal ballots in favour of a Pakistan Peoples Party candidate.

I hope and pray IK wins, he is only the last hope, all the others have failed miserably and took this country to a point where Pakistan is a laughing stock on the world stage and internally.

Right now, Shahbaz Sharif doing rent-a-crowd Jalsa in DG Khan. Completely placid and subdued crowd with no charge or verve or enthusiasm...Such an exposition of Sharif tactics of holding jalsas for Biryani and Qeemay Walay Naan.

Shame Shame Shame...Soooo Lame!!!

@PakSword @The Accountant @Zibago I just went over to Shahbaz's Twitter and saw the last jalsa of Shahbaz at DG Khan... The video is posted at the top...Compare that with Imran Khan's Karachi Jalsa of Yesterday and it becomes evident...The Biryani Crowd vs The PTI Voter Crowd!!!

I'm sure that day after tomorrow, if there is no Dhandli by usual PMLN goons and election staff then PTI looks like winning 110 seats of NA on its own, In Sha Allah... with seat adjustment parties and independents, this is PTI's elections. In Sha Allah.

Another devastating undressing of Geo at the hands of Irshad Bhatti I just witnessed live on Geo...they must be ruing that they asked Bhatti sb to be part of their panel... Sohail Waraich, Niazi, Imtiaz Alam and Irshad Bhatti with Shahzaib Khanzada as host....Man O Man , how I love Irshad Bhatti's courage who took on all four and gave them a real run for their money. The way the lot was praising Bialawal and then Bhatti Sb. just went ahead and took off their clothes one by one, lol, hilarious... I'll post the vid if I find the link.

Pti also have silent voters like more than 90% of my dept is voting for pti

Pti also have silent voters like more than 90% of my dept is voting for pti

What matters is urban north punajb 45 seats and PMLN will still take that

Seems
1۔ kpk will go to ik( surprising ...never happened before as urban areas always swing)
2. Punjab close fight but given north punjab urban areas will still vote for pmln will be pmln
3. Sindh ...do we need to guess
5.Baluchistan mixed

Final ..center PTI with smaller parties
PTI will get 30from KPK, 20-25 South punjab, 10-15 else where and 10-20 center punjab= 80-90ish
PMLN 60ish from center punjab
PPPP 35ish
PSP 10ish
JUI 10ish
Mqm 4ish
Azad/jeep 30ish
or an upset weak coalition of PML PPPP JUI(mulana and zardari will be key)

Now ofcourse who knows if urban north punjab like Lahore swings than things will be differebt

 

[PakAlp]

My Pakistan Elections 2018 NA seats Prediction:

Pml N - 88
Pti - 65
Ppp - 40

Anp - 2
Mma - 12
BalocAP- 8
MqmP - 10
Psp - 4
GDA Sindh- 6

Pti should win fata 12 seats and get 20odd independent seats. Will have total 100na seats. With reserves should reach 130.
Plus GDA sindh, psp, mqm, balochAp. 30 seats.

Pti coalition government with 160+ seats

What corrupt practices. Does private channels announce different results then the ones announced by election commission.

This my dear shall further cast doubts on the legitimacy of elections, if this is true.
