Swat: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) won big against the PDM-backed Awami National Party (ANP) in the Swat by-poll held on Sunday.
According to the unofficial results, PTI’s Fazal Mula secured 17,395 votes, while ANP’s candidate Hussain Ahmed came in second with 14,604 votes.
Despite enjoying the support of the big parties like PPP, PMLN, QWP, JUI-F and others, Hussain Ahmad could not secure victory on the seat that had fallen vacant after the death of ANP’s MPA Waqar Ahmad Khan, who died due to cardiac arrest in April.
ANP rejects result
Afterwards, the ANP rejected the results and asked, “why did the Election Commission remain silent on the relentless use of government machinery and the release of funds overnight?”
پی کے 7 سوات نتائج کو مسترد کرتے ہیں۔ پولنگ ایجنٹس کے ساتھ موجود فارم 45 اور سرکاری نتائج یکسر مختلف ہیں۔ 2018ء کی طرح 'کور' میں موجود 'مہربان' نے اس الیکشن کو بھی 'مینیج' کیا۔ سرکاری مشینری کے بے دریغ استعمال، راتوں رات فنڈز کے اجراء پر الیکشن کمیشن کیوں خاموش رہا؟@AimalWali pic.twitter.com/WFljlNxDrk
