Kaptaan’s (Imran Khan’s) stunning inswinger, reports The Express Tribune: “Defying all odds, PTI sweeps high-stakes Punjab by-polls; wins 15 seats; PML-N trails with 4,” concedes defeat.
According to some independent observers and political analysts, voters from all age groups, including physically challenged one’s made a beeline to vote for Khan in Lahore (the capital of Punjab province – Pakistan’s heartland and the country’s largest province population-wise). “They fielded well for Khan’s yorkers toward the incumbent govt. and his main competitor PML-N – for his ‘Azadi, Tabdeeli’ battlecry,” one analyst says.
“Lahorites helped upset the batting lineup of PML-N and its coalition. It’s a game-changer in Punjab particularly and in the country’s political development, as whoever holds sway in Punjab eventually rules the federation” another analyst said.
