Re: Election Results for the National Assembly

I am watching the results on Geo News channel right now. Looking at the number of votes being obtained by candidates, I am curious what is the percentage of people voting. Usually about 30-40% people vote in Pak elections... is their any trend/info/rumor/news as to the turn-out?

The “Father of Democracy” lying…i can’t believe my eyes and/or ears :no:

Now i’ll wait for the “wise and willing” to come explain, or rather tell us what Musharraf “meant” to say. hehehe :CareBear:

Re: Election Results for the National Assembly

The generalimpression is of similar turn out but it can only be confirmed in next couple of days. It will be quite an achievement if thats true because of lack of enthusiasm, security threats and all.

Re: Election Results for the National Assembly

Re: Election Results for the National Assembly

But there has been no strong Army presence around the town. Can you confirm my assumption to be true?

114

Re: Election Results for the National Assembly

I'm relieved by the results so far. Part of me was afraid that the lack of exit polls meant the government would be rigging a massive victory for itself.

But what seems to be coming out suggests that the votes so far haven't been rigged. Emphasis is on "so far", though.

Re: Election Results for the National Assembly

Lahore is generally a 'safer' place as compared to other parts of the country and there were quite a few soldiers specially in karachi and rawalpindi/ islamabad (even there results are upsets) so... didnt matter where was army deployed and where was it not.
