Well it does make sense. i dont think PPP would win a single seat anywhere in a fair election.
PML-N candidate's stance comes as a surprise? Why will a politician accept his/her defeat? He is not going to pack and go home. His politics requires him to stay in the news via controversies or whatever!
Total votes are 29000 and In jalsah 25000, there could be 10,000 male voters present in the constituency normally, Did they import other 15000 from Lahore?
Pml-n sees messive rigging in election because there were 25000 voters in their jalsa while vote casted in their favor are just 9000!
