In a surprising turn of events during the recent general elections, Jahangir Tareen, the patron-in-chief of the Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP), faced defeat in two significant constituencies – NA-155 and NA-149.
Malik Muhammad Aamir Dogar, an independent candidate backed by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), emerged victorious in NA-149, securing a remarkable 143,613 votes. In contrast, Tareen trailed behind with 50,166 votes, marking a significant setback for the IPP in this constituency.
Similarly, in NA-155, the IPP suffered another blow as PML-N candidate Saddique Khan Baloch clinched victory. Baloch garnered 117,671 votes, while Tareen could only manage to secure 71,128 votes.
The defeat of Tareen in both NA-155 and NA-149 underscores a shift in political dynamics within these constituencies. While Tareen’s influence was once formidable, the rise of opposition candidates backed by major political parties signals a changing landscape.
These results not only highlight the strength of PTI and PML-N in their respective constituencies but also raise questions about the future trajectory of the IPP under Tareen’s leadership. As the dust settles on the election fervor, political analysts speculate on the implications of these defeats for Tareen and the IPP, suggesting potential recalibrations in their strategies moving forward.
Stay tuned for further updates as the aftermath of the general elections continues to unfold, reshaping the political landscape of Pakistan.
