The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf trounced the PML-N on Sunday by obtaining at least 15 seats in the crucial by-elections on the 20 seats that fell empty as a result of PTI members being disqualified for endorsing Hamza Shehbaz for the job of Punjab chief minister.

According to unofficial results, PTI won five seats in central Punjab, five in the north, and the same number in south Punjab. In the 14 districts across the province where by-elections were held, Imran Khan’s party lost one seat in Lahore, three in south Punjab, and one in the north.

The ruling PML-N was only able to gain four seats as a result of fielding traitors in every constituency, with the exception of Lahore, where PTI renegade Aleem Khan chose not to run in the by-election.

PTI leader Imran Khan thanked Punjabi party members and voters in a tweet for beating not only PML-N candidates but also the entire establishment, including intimidation by the police and an “obviously biased” Election Commission of Pakistan. Additionally, he expressed gratitude to the PTI’s supporters, the PML-Q, Majlis-i Wahdatul Muslimeen (MWM), and the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC).

I want to first thank our PTI workers & voters of Punjab for defeating not just PMLN candidates but the entire state machinery, esp harassment by police, & a totally biased ECP. Thank you to all our Allies, PMLQ, MWM & Sunni Ittehad Council. pic.twitter.com/TgFqQ7EDj0

The only way forward from here is to hold free and fair elections under an effective ECP. Mr. Khan claimed that taking any other action will simply lead to more political unrest and economic instability.

As the election scoreboard became clear, PML-N vice president Maryam Nawaz tweeted that her party should accept the results with an open heart and submit in front of the public’s judgment. She added that winning and losing are both aspects of politics. She also counseled her party to recognize its flaws and make a concerted effort to fix them.

مسلم لیگ ن کو کھلے دل سے نتائج تسلیم کرنا چاہییں۔ عوام کے فیصلے کے سامنے سر جھکانا چاہیے۔ سیاست میں ہار جیت ہوتی رہتی ہے۔ دل بڑا کرنا چاہیے۔ جہاں جہاں کمزوریاں ہیں، ان کی نشاندہی کر کے انھیں دور کرنے کے لیے محنت کرنی چاہیے۔ انشاءاللّہ خیر ہو گی۔

Except for a few isolated brawls, heated sloganeering, accusations, and denials at several polling sites, the by-elections were mainly uneventful. Both the PTI and PML-N leaders announced that the province’s voting process was calm as it came to an end at the scheduled hour of 5 pm. Attaullah Tarar, the home minister for the PML-N, added that no significant law and order issues had been recorded.
