There was rigging , Corrupt Police , and more importantly u guys are missing the most important thing or a trick by these disgusting politicians ....at the last moment millions of people standing in line for hours like me when the time came to vote my name was not in the list.....after running whole day i found out that it was too late and i had to cast my vote many kilometers away in Daska ...while i lived my whole life in sialkot cantt......this was disgusting CHEATING...........they knew they were going to loose.....so we guys never thought they had already planned massive tricks ????
More impotantly what does it say about the political astuteness (or lack of) and allegiance of the average rural voter? Poll rigging and the shambolic ECP aside, it is the poor rural voter who stands to suffer most withg these inept politicians and yet they vote them in - the irony!
So PTI has the same number of seats as PPP. How is that even possible. Think about it. PTI had the campaigns. They had the crowds. And PPP has been extremely unpopular after the last 5 years of bad governance in Pakistan.
How does one explain that? Do these dynasty parties have such strong bases that no matter what, they will score as many seats as another party with a wildly strong campaign? What does that say about our election process?
