She says, “Imran Khan managed to secure this victory for his party without the help of the military, without the businessmen who had previously funded his campaign, and without a major electoral candidate in his camp.” stay.” Without [those who have a reliable vote bank],” she says.
But she also cautioned against reading too much into the results and interpreting them as a the bell ringer for the rest of the country.
“While PTI’s favor is on the rise, the real referendum on where PML-N stands in Punjab will be possible only in the general elections.”
