• Despite MASSIVE rigging in last election and terrorism by MQM, PTI got pretty decent votes in Karachi and that gives a very strong indication that Karachi wants CHANGE! Free and fair elections and PTI would have grabed 3-4 seats from Karachi! • • Here the breakdown of last election From NA - 240 till NA - 252, number of votes PTI got is shown below: Election Commission of Pakistan NA-240 = 21094 NA-241 = 27537 NA-242 = 10800 NA-243 = 30001 NA-244 = 26252 NA-245 = 54751 NA-246 = 32048 NA-247 = 35240 NA-248 = 26348 NA-249 = --- NA-250 = --- NA-251 = --- NA-252 = 49324 • • From this it appears that MQM does not fully represents karachi now as during operation mayy terrorists were arrested and youth has also understood that they had been deprived of education so now their mind has switched towards change. In past no other party has achieved in Karachi since the advent of MQM. Returning officer for NA253/PS118 refused to handover or make the result public..It is a significant change from previous elections as the PTI managed to get up to 30,000 votes in Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) stronghold Lyari and the MQM’s home constituency Azizabad.In Azizabad, PTI’s Muhammad Jawed Jeelani secured 20,259 votes against MQM’s Khalid bin Wilayat, who won with 71,318 votes. In Lyari too, PTI candidate Subhab Ali Sahil won 26,348 votes even though the PPP has been sweeping this constituency since it was formed in 1968. PPP’s Shah Jahan Baloch – who was contesting Lyari’s seat from the jail – defeated Sahil with 84,530 votes , the latter’s position was better than Nabeel Gabool and PPP-Shaheed Bhutto leader Ghinwa Bhutto, who hardly managed 537 votes. .Even on election day, Lyari’s Baloch and Sindhi youth was divided between PPP and PTI camps. Most of them wore shirts and caps inscribed with the portrait of PTI chief Imran Khan and were shouting slogans to bring “change”. Apart from Lyari and Azizabad, the election commission results show that PTI bagged a significant number of votes from Sohrab Goth and SITE areas. Soon after the election started two to three hours behind schedule, some people started firing in the area harassing the voters,Arif Alviwho was contesting from NA 250 informed police that their agents were kidnapped and a few of them were harassed
