Three provinces are under pti the candidate of pti will win lets see who he or she will be

Judtice Nasira Iqbal.

He or she will not be from Punjab

 

[war&peace]

I would prefer a president from Baluchistan, KPK or Karachi.

Judtice Nasira Iqbal.

How?

Opposition parties will get more votes from senate. The vots from NA will be almost equal (with gov having 15-20 more votes). IN Punjab Assembly it will be same, 15-20 vote lead for gov. In Sindh, the gov. will lose the advantage gained in NA and Punjab....
It will be number of votes from Senate vs KPK Assembly. Too close to call.

In Senate, Opposition is much stronger.

What if Zardari file nomination papers and win election?

And you forgot about Baluchistan? Furthermore you assumed that PPP and PMLN will stand together? And more importantly all their MPs will vote for their candidate..a lot of assumptions mate. I'm sure that if PTI wants (which it wants), the President will be from PTI ..even if we follow senate elections...btw FYI, PPP is not supporting PMLn in Punjab assembly. They will boycott the elections.

Well it will show these people are not elected in the interest of Pakistan yet for themselves and should all get arrested and get pehnti in prison

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

Opposition has more numbers than PTI led alliance. Senate is full of PMLN candidates.

PTI needs PPP support to have a President of their choice but support from PPP means, a candidate which will be acceptable to them as well.

The situation will also be in PTI favour in Balochistan

No i didn't forgot Baluchistan.
If i know one thing about our politics, it is NEVER COUNT ZARDARI out!
I know and AGREE with all you said, in fact, i am quite sure that PTI will need support of MQM and Co. only until by-elections. By that time, there will be a forward block in PMLN that will not be supporting PMLN at all. PMLQ, PTI, and parties from baluchistan along with independents will be enough to form a stable government. Meaning, i myself see a forward block in coming months but........ ZaRdArI!! I hope PTI gets its President, it will be political and PTI are doing great politics these days so it is quite possible but as i said, it will be a close call. Lets see!

The situation will also be in PTI favour in Balochistan

I didnt forgot Baluchistan. Just did not mentioned them as the seats are limited and will be adjusted to fight off senate majority of opposition. Anyway, as i said, lets see what happens
Again, PTI is doing great politics and i hope they can get their president too. (not sure however how much will it really matter)

It matters especially if a thief tries to become the president to hide behind the amnesty. If Zardari tries for himself to become the president again, we will have to stop him because he is a criminal but I'm sure he won't because he has been declared an absconder by the court.
