KARACHI: Though there was plenty of hype around the NA-249 by-election, there was not much enthusiasm at most polling camps as polling started in the constituency on Thursday.
“No, it is only now that you don’t see so many voters. That’s because of heat. People are fasting as well. Still, there was a good turnout at 8am,” said Gulzaib Hasanzai, minding a Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) facilitation camp in Orangi Town under swaying posters of smiling candidate Miftah Ismail with Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz.
