PAKISTAN HAS SPOKEN. Just few hours ago, head honcho of PML-Quashed, Chaudhary Shujaat declared that they will clean sweep the Punjab and will form government in Sindh and Balochistan with MQM and BNP respectively. Chaudhary Pervaiz Elahi left no words to flaunt his inevitable victory. They were disgustingly rejected by the voters of Pakistan. Same was the case with other turncoats but big names like Shiekh Rashid, Sher Afgun, Rao Sikander, Hamid Nasir Chatta, Ishaq Khakwani, Naseer Khan. All the ministers of former governments were just brushed away like dust by the voters.

Pakistan People’s Party, PPP, is all set to emerge as the single largest party with around 110 seats in National Assembly, with clear majority in Sindh Province and a heavy presence in Quetta and Balochistan. Sympathy vote plus the seething anger against PML-Q is the factor behind this monumental win for this party of assassinated Benazir Bhutto.

Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz, PML-N, is set to gain somewhere around 90 seats in the national assembly becoming the second largest party in Pakistan, with clear majority in Punjab province, and marginal presence in NWFP, and almost no presence in Balochistan.

Awami National Party, ANP, the Pashtun party, which is socialist in nature has received a rousing support from the voters of NWFP.

So in the center, a coalition government between PPP and PML-N is emerging. Sindh goes to PPP, MQM also could join PPP in Sindh. Punjab goes to PML-N, and PPP could also join it there. Balochistan will again have a loose coalition government between PPP, BNP, and independents. PML-Q could also form a government in Balochistan by joining hands with JUI-F and independents.
