Meet Naik Muhammad Khan, who ran against Imran Khan in PTI’s intra-party polls
According to the communiqué, results received from all four provinces were finalised in a meeting of provincial and regional commissioners chaired by Swati.
this turnout was expected as members were given only 48 hrs to vote for their panel as there were 17,81,208 members who could receive message to vote for their panels
Unfair criticism, given that PTI is the only party that holds transparent intra-party polls.
Typical political party election , one man show , phantom competitors! Nothing new only lip service!
