Unofficial results further show that PTI has so far won 26 seats followed by PML-N which is second with 10 seats. Independent candidates have bagged 11 seats.

The PPP has also managed to get one seat.

Zafar Ali Shah defeated

Among those who have been defeated by the PTI is veteran politician and senior PML-N leader Zafar Ali Shah, who was the party’s candidate for Chairman slot.

“I accept my defeat,” Shah told media persons.

When asked about the reasons of his defeat, Shah said that this should be asked to Nawaz Sharif (Prime Minister) and Tariq Fazal Chaudhry (State minister).

Some people, he said, weren’t happy about his nomination for the post of Chairman.

“Our workers have defeated the PML-N stalwarts in Islamabad,” said a jubilant PTI leader.
