PESHAWAR (Dunya News) – In yet another blow to the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Awami National Party (ANP) candidate Salahuddin won the by-election on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (PK-71) seat.

According to unofficial results received collected from all 86 polling stations through result transmission system (RTS), Salauhuddin received 11,224 votes against PTI’s Zulfiqar Khan, who bagged 9,755 votes.

It makes very little difference since PTI has huge margin of seats in KP provincial seats, plus they won 1 extra national assembly seat and one Sindh provincial seat.

So this means that PTI has lost 10th seat, it had won in general elections. Nothing to worry about, as this does not affect its majority.

Good, KPK people are smart, they know how govt should be on toes and never feel easy.
