ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has secured 18 seats in the Senate elections but the victory was bittersweet as Pakistan Peoples Party s (PPP) Yousuf Raza Gillani defeated PTI s Hafeez Shaikh from the Islamabad general seat by securing 169 votes.
According to a report by Geo News, the returning officer, who announced the results after counting ended in the National Assembly, said that six of the total 340 ballots cast in the National Assembly were rejected.
After losing the hotly contested Islamabad Senate general seat, Prime Minister Imran Khan has announced his decision to seek a vote of confidence from the National Assembly. Those standing with Imran Khan will be seen on one side and those who are not, and think they like the ideology of the PPP and PML-N have every right to join their ranks, said Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi.
