For all other political parties apart from the PTI, the general elections of 2024 also proved to be a nightmare – similar to what happened in 2018.<\/p>\n
Only the leaders of PTI achieved success in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, while those of all other parties faced defeat.<\/p>\n
Apart from those who left the PTI and joined other parties, former K-P chief ministers Pervez Khattak and Mahmood Khan, who formed their own party called PTI-Parliamentarians, also suffered failure.<\/p>\n
Those who persevered with the PTI and faced hardships were rewarded in the form of success in the polls.<\/p>\n
In the 2018 general elections, Imran Khan, the founding chairman of the PTI, emerged victorious from K-P, but all other national leaders were defeated, including PML-N president and former premier Shehbaz Sharif, PPP chairman and ex-foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, ANP chief Asfandyar Wali Khan, Qaumi Watan Party head Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao, Jamaat-e-Islami emir Sirajul Haq and JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman.<\/p>\n
This time again, PTI leader Barrister Gohar on way to success in the province while others including PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif; ANP provincial president Aimal Wali Khan; the JUI-F chief and his two sons; QWP’s Sherpao and his son Sikandar Hayat Khan Sherpao; JI emir; and all others apparently tested defeat.<\/p>\n
Even former federal minister and senior politician, ANP’s Ghulam Ahmad Bilour, faced defeat.
\nHowever, former federal minister PML-Q’s Salim Saifullah Khan was successful in clinching his seat but his brother, ex-PPP K-P president Anwar Saifullah Khan was not so fortunate.<\/p>\n
PPP K-P president Syed Muhammad Ali Shah Bacha and general secretary Shuja Khan; ANP provincial information secretary Samar Haroon Bilour; JUI-F provincial general secretary Molana Attaul Haq Darvish; and JI provincial emir Professor Muhammad Ibrahim Khan as well as general secretary Abdul Wasey also failed to bag the seats they were running for.<\/p>\n
Among those defeated in the elections is PPP K-P information secretary Amjad Afridi, who had been consistently successful in the previous polls.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, PTI-affiliated independent candidates were successful yet again including former National Assembly speaker Asad Qaiser; ex-KP Assembly speaker Mushtaq Ahmed Ghani; as well as former federal ministers Shehryar Afridi, Ali Muhammad Khan, and Ali Amin Gandapur.<\/p>\n
Former K-P Assembly speaker Bakht Jehan Khan, who is contesting the election on the ticket of JI from Buner, has suffered defeat as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
