Re: Javed Hashmi Vs Shaikh Rasheed

ashtray, come on yar, it wasnt bb’s death or nawazu’s return, it was simple , the people didnt like him anymore, and alot of ppl blame him for the lal masjid fiasco too, because he had links with auntee shamim. He is trying very hard these days to disassociate himself to the lal masjid saga…

Btw, PPP had their candidate too, so it wasnt like it was PPP/PML[n] vs Pml[q], but he still lost badly, and came in 3rd. He managed just 5K votes in one seat.

Btw, here is what the ordinary poor awaam think about him (sorry about the crude lingo in the clip)

It was a lot of fun reading through this thread. Thanks for reviving it, though I am sure you did it just for ribbing! :smiley:

Moral of the story, don’t make predictions when you don’t know jack. Or at least hedge your bets so you don’t appear like a complete moron later. :hehe:

NA-55 by-election: Politicking still to get in gear
** PML-N’s Haji Pervaiz Khan emerges as strong candidate

By Aamir Yasin*

RAWALPINDI: Traditional enthusiasm for electioneering is still missing in NA-55 for which by-election is just a fortnight away.

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N)’s Haji Pervaiz Khan is emerging as a strong candidate after Sheikh Rashid Ahmed withdrew his nomination papers.

MSF leader Ejaz Khan Jazi is contesting election as an independent candidate and will likely give a tough time to PML-N’s Haji Pervaiz Khan.

Political pundits believe that PML-N will clinch victory given overwhelming popularity of Nawaz Sharif in the city.

No candidate has yet started public gatherings, rallies, door-to-door contacts and corner meetings. Colourful banners and posters are the only sign of elections in the city.

Some small meetings at selected places are reported, however. It looked that people were not much interested in the elections after formation of PML-N government in Punjab.

Inflation and energy crisis can also be counted as big factors for diverting public attention from the elections. Anyhow, the situation will be clear only after June 26 by-election.

Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) has not fielded a candidate for this seat under an agreement with the PML-N, according to which one party would not field a candidate for a seat vacated by the other. So the PPP candidate Aamir Fida Paracha had withdrawn himself in favour of the PML-N candidate.

Sheikh Rashid has fielded Begum Naseem Ali, a woman councillor in Rawal Town Council, in his place against the PML-N candidate. Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) President Barrister Aitzaz Ahsan has withdrawn his nomination papers as PPP had not issued him a ticket.

In total, 333,928 voters - 183,215 male and 150,713 female - were registered in NA-55. The constituency has been vacated by PML-N leader Makhdoom Javed Hashmi, who defeated five-time winner Sheikh Rashid in the general election.

As many as 18 candidates are running for this seat. They include Ejaz Khan Jazi (Independent), Prof Hafiz Waseem Ahmed (Independent), Chaudhry Abdul Hameed Babu (Independent), Haji Pervaiz Khan (PML-N), Haji Muhammad Saleem Khan (Independent), Dr Munawar Fayyaz Sunni (Independent), Zubair Yousaf (Independent), Sardar Naseer Ahmed (PFP), Syeda Nasim Ali (Independent), Shahid Orakzai (Independent), Shaikh Muhammad Raheel Latif (Independent), Alamgir Butt (PPP-SB), Aziz Ahmed Mughal (Independent), Muhammad Ikramul Haq (Independent), Muhammad Akmal Ludhianvi (Independent), Mushahidullah Khan (Independent), Muhammad Gulzar Awan (PAP) and Malik Abdul Rehman Sadiq (Independent)..
