PML-N bulldozes PTI in PP-206 by-election in Khanewal

December 17, 2021 12:30 PM


Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) not only registered quite an impressive win in the by-election for PP-206, Khanewal on Thursday, but also retained its seat, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

According to unofficial results, PML-N’s Rana Muhammad Saleem received 47, 649 votes followed by Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf’s (PTI) Naureen Nishat Daha who bagged 34, 30 votes. 

Falling short of expectations, Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) candidate managed to obtain only 9, 619 votes. 

PML-N workers danced to the drumbeat and exploded firecrackers to express their jubilation over their party’s win with a thumping majority. 

The seat had fallen vacant on account of the death of PTI Member of Punjab Assembly (MPA) Nishat Ahmad Khan Daha on October 23, 2021.  

Meanwhile, PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif, while commenting on PML-N’s win in the by-poll, tweeted on Thursday night that the party had targeted inflation, incompetence and corruption in one go. 

He went on to add that the PML-N candidate’s victory was the result of the party’s services for the people of PP-206 as well as of south Punjab. “I thank the party workers for working day and night to ensure that the party wins with a thumping majority,” he concluded.
