Gilanis dominate Multan election

The Gilani family of PPP-Parliamentarians, spearheaded by former prime minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani, has clinched half of Multan’s six National Assembly seats, besides claiming a provincial assembly seat.

Two of the rest NA seats have been secured by independents, including Malik Muhammad Amir Dogar who won from NA-149 seat with the highest vote tally of 143,613 and Zain Hussain Qureshi who claimed 126,770 votes to bag the NA-150 seat, according to the results.

The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz managed to win only one seat with its nominee Rana Qasim Noon emerging victorious from NA-153 in Jalalpur Pirwala Tehsil. APP
