PML-N’s Kulsoom Nawaz wins NA-120 by-election: unofficial results
PML-N’s Kulsoom Nawaz wins NA-120 by-election: unofficial results: Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) candidate Begum Kulsoom Nawaz Sunday won the closely contested by-election for her husband Nawaz Sharif’s ‘home seat’ NA-120. According to unofficial and unverified results, Kulsoom Nawaz managed to attain 61,254 votes, while her competitor, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf’s Dr. Yasmin Rashid attained 47,066 votes.
Maryam Nawaz Sharif, who ran her mother’s campaign, tweeted following the victory: “Shukar Alhamdolillah a million times ! This was PMLN vs ALL !”
Addressing party workers at the party’s Model Town office, Maryam congratulated PML-N workers and supporters.
Following the PML-N’s victory, party workers celebrated in the constituency and at the party’s headquarters Model Town.
“All the powers which had surrounded Nawaz Sharif were defeated today,” claimed a jubilant Maryam.
However, PTI’s Dr. Yasmin Rashid said she would approach the court against the Election Commission of Pakistan for registering 29,000 bogus votes in the constituency.
The by-election, which began at 8am and largely remained without incident, was seen as a major test for the ruling PML-N after Sharif’s disqualification by the Supreme Court on July 28 in the Panama Papers case.
PML-N fielded Kulsoom Nawaz for the contest against Dr. Yasmin Rashid of PTI and Faisal Mir of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), among others.
All polling stations in the constituency were declared sensitive, with police, rangers and army personnel providing security.
