Pakhtunkhwa Assembly if his lawmakers betrayed the party. However, he would not need to take such stern decision now that his party obtained the desired number of seats.
It appears that the strategy PTI and its allies had prepared for preventing horse-trading succeeded. This is a big success given the fact that the parliamentary party of PTI was often plagued by differences.
The PTI’s 14-member group of ‘like-minded’ lawmakers apparently voted for party candidates despite reservations over certain decisions, including the nomination of Liaqat Tarakai.
The victory in Senate election will help scotch the impression that PTI is not a disciplined party, at least for now. Even the expelled PTI MPA Javed Naseem stayed away from polling vote in an effort to prove that he has not sold his vote. He had proposed an independent candidate for the Senate vote and become suspects in the eyes of everyone.
None of the PTI lawmakers was accused of taking bribe in return for vote. This might boost its image of a party combating corruption. Imran Khan during his press conference on Friday sent a “well-done” message to the party’s lawmakers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for spurning money offers.
The PTI managed to maintain its votes despite the fact that some wealthy politicians were hoping to buy its lawmakers. These affluent politicians who were solely relying on their wealth appeared to have failed to buy “some horses.” “No person in future would take part in Senate election only because they have wealth,” Atif said, declaring it victory for democracy.
