Still the congratulatory letters past PTI leaders challenge victory in the controversial by-polls in Daska, the ruling party in reality is in a state of stupor and searching for answers for an unexpected defeat, party insiders say. Shibli Faraz admitted that "internal rifts betwixt two brothers" damaged the party in Nowshera past-election but PTI's vote bank has not shrunk, adding that that is why Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Irrigation Minister Liaquat Khattak — the brother of Defence Government minister Pervaiz Khattak — was removed from his mail for allegedly supporting the victorious candidate belonging to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).

On violence and killing of two people during the voting process in Daska, Shibli alleged that it was the PML-N's plan and onetime prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi had expressed in an interview terminal month that people would now protect their votes through weapons. "The past-election results testify that there is a full general discontentment against the government policies as people do not have a positive stance nigh government'southward performance and internal rifts within PTI are not just deep simply fully evident now," Pakistan Institute of Legislative Development and Transparency (Pildat) President Ahmed Bilal Mehboob told The Limited Tribune. I of the reasons why PM Imran is so keen to concord Senate elections through open vote, Mehboob said, is the realisation of the fact that the party is so divided that lawmakers might go against the political party determination. "The Punjab CM has no grip over the political party and the province and insiders also feel that he shouldn't be the chief government minister," Mehboob said. "The provincial assistants failed; law and order situation marred Daska polls and the ECP'southward staff just vanished." He added, "The ECP'southward argument is a charge sheet confronting the PTI government." To a question, Mehboob said that the PTI's narrative of corruption and NRO lost its effectiveness with people almost a year ago. Apart from the PTI's internal rifts, he said that PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz ran an effective campaign and her visit to Nowshera –a PTI stronghold – has had an effect on the end results. "PDM had an effect only it didn't have a major function," he said. In the by-elections on Friday, the PTI was routed in two of the four constituencies – ii National Assembly and as many provincial assemblies' seats – in Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa with clashes betwixt the ruling party and the PML-Due north in the hotly contested NA-75 Sialkot leaving two people expressionless and 10 others, including a woman, wounded. Past-elections were held for PP-51 Gujranwala-I, NA-45 Kurram-I and PK-63 Nowshera seats that roughshod vacant due to the demise of the lawmakers.
