Progress of Election Tribunals as of 31st May 2014: - 301 complains out of total 410 complains decided (73% decided) - 37 out of 58 complains of PTI decided (64% decided) - 38 out of 66 complains of PMLN decided (58% decided) Some interesting results: NA110 (Khawaja Asif) - PTI complain against PMLN. PTI candidate fined for not following up the case and failure to submit any evidence. PTI lost case. NA19 - PMLN complain against PTI. Rigging was proved on 7 polling stations by PTI and re-polling was ordered on these polling stations. PMLN won elections under administration of PTI government in KPK. NA125 - Hamid Khan vs Khawaja Saad Rafiq in Lahore - Hamid Khan is doing delaying tactics and not appearing in courts. Saad Rafiq challenged him to come to court on assembly floor. NA53 - PTIs MNA from Rawalpindi was initially suspended due to fake degree, now he is restored due to court stay order. NA47 - PTIs Qaisar Jamal seat election was declared null due to rigging and fresh election were called. He is back on seat through court stay order. NA55 - PTIs partner Sheikh Rasheed has taken court stay order which has stopped recounting or re-verification through NADRA in his constituency. Another interesting case: NA-1 Peshawar PTI got 90,000 votes on 11 May 2013 and on by-polls under their own government in KPK, they could only get 29,000 votes (lost 60K) votes in period of just 3 months. No complain was filed by PTI on this seat in tribunal. Total NA Seats in Punjab: 147 (PMLN 120) Challenged by PTI in tribunal: 19 only Total PP Seats in Punjab: 371 (PMLN 312) Challenged by PTI in tribunal: 23 only Total PMLN NA seats from Pakistan = 145 (186 with women/minority) 64% of cases have already been cleared by tribunals. Even if PTI had 100% success rate in tribunals for 19 NA seats and 23 NA seats, it would not change a bit in position for PMLN in National or Provincial Assemblies. Imran keeps on talking about just 4 constituencies, however 37 constituencies have already been cleared by tribunals and PTI lost in all of them. Also remember that all PTI petitions were not against rigging, as many were challenging the qualifications and eligibility of winning candidate only.
