UJ | 7 years ago | Reply Unfair criticism, given that PTI is the only party that holds transparent intra-party polls.

Ahmed | 7 years ago | Reply this turnout was expected as members were given only 48 hrs to vote for their panel as there were 17,81,208 members who could receive message to vote for their panels
