After PTI took insurmountable lead on majority of by-elections seat, PML-N’s Vice President Maryam Nawaz on Sunday accepted defeat in the crucial Punjab by-polls that will ultimately result in current Chief minister Punjab Hamza Shahbaz losing his position as the chief of the largest province of the country.
As the unofficial results started pouring in, showing the PTI in the lead, the party’s vice president Maryam Nawaz took to Twitter and said that the defeat should be accepted with an open heart.
مسلم لیگ ن کو کھلے دل سے نتائج تسلیم کرنا چاہییں۔ عوام کے فیصلے کے سامنے سر جھکانا چاہیے۔ سیاست میں ہار جیت ہوتی رہتی ہے۔ دل بڑا کرنا چاہیے۔ جہاں جہاں کمزوریاں ہیں، ان کی نشاندہی کر کے انھیں دور کرنے کے لیے محنت کرنی چاہیے۔ انشاءاللّہ خیر ہو گی۔

“PML-N should accept results of by-polls with an open heart and concede to the decision of masses,” Maryam Nawaz tweets.
Earlier, Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) leader Malik Ahmed Khan has conceded its defeat in the Punjab by-polls as Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) emerged as the leading party in the majority of provincial assembly’s seats.
“I am accepting whole-heartedly that PTI clinched historic victory and the public votes came against us,” PML-N leader Malik Ahmed Khan said while talking to a private news channel.
Malik Ahmed Khan added, “I have talked to Hamza Shahbaz and it is a difficult situation. There is a coalition government in the Centre. Hamza Shahbaz has also asked to respect the public opinion.”
According to details, Hamza summoned a session in view of the current situation in which the PML-N leadership will make important decisions regarding its political strategy in Punjab.
