All sitting Fed Govts., in Pakistan win by elections as entire state machinery is at it's disposal. PPP won its 95% of NA elections while in power.
The issue that is stinging entire PMLN leadership is the pathetic performance in election in NA 120- losing 30,000 votes even after using state machinery, 24 days of continuous campaigning by dying mother's all powerful daughter and full support of 17 Federal Ministers, Provincial Government, Local Government, NADRA, ECP, Bureaucracy and yet margin of meagre 13-14k.
Sympathy vote for dying mother when the slogan was "My mother is bemaar, air bemaar maa ki beti ka maan rakh lena", and development work was being done on Election Day and there was no load shedding for over 90 days the lead of 13k requires
"serious introspection"
They know minus the support of the following in General Elections what will happen:
1. Federal Government
2. AJK Government
3. Provincial Govt.,
4. Local Government
5. NADRA
6. ECP
7. Federal Bureaucracy
8. Punjab Bureaucracy
