- Mar13-2018--The PPP not really known for cooperation or inter party cooperation who spent five years hanging on to the PMLn lapels(to save Asif Zardari from corruption cases)...ran away with both senate chairman and deputy chairman...while the opposition had indicated earlier that the PPP group had gathered 57 supporters the PPP had been insisting on its own chairman which was opposed by the PTI/Baluchistan dissidents...However Sadiq Sanjrani elected by the PMLn dissidents won the senate chairmanship...he had earlier been indicated as having PPP sympathies as had the Balochistan chief minister...The deputy chairman was a PPP supporter Salim Mandivalla...The PMLn was shown tobe too deaf and dumb to handle a senate composed of small parties...upto a day earlier they had been suggesting that the PPP cooperate with them on renaming Raza Rabbani...Raza Rabbani however ran back into the Zardari-Bilawal fold...apparently the PMLn could not attract a single supporter apart from its diehard allies...many suggest that Nawaz Sharifs attacking the SC continuously/nastily cost the PMLn dearly...others joked that the PMLn lost the election after a shoe was hurled at Nawaz Sharif in Jamia Naeemia...The PMLn attempt to change the finality of the prophet declaration many suggest also caused them severe problems...It was not a Balochistan only issue as the Balochistan dissidents did not vote for Usman Kakar nor did the PKmap /NP vote for Sanjrani...the PTI many suggest was roped into the Zardari coalition and many rued the rouhani nature of Imran Khan...!Imran Khan tried to get the deputy also to come from a non PPP group but again the rouhani advice probably intervened...Others suggest that the establishment which had indicated they wanted the placid do nothing PPP back in power might have arm twisted Imran Khan...The PMLn many say did not want to give up any of the two positions to get the votes needed...it shows that Shabaz Sharif who was the man behind the scenes during the Nawaz Sharif rule is not able to handle vote gathering or coalition making...
- Mar5-2018--One does not know how horse trading has worked or have the leaders connived to shift mpa's to make payments to their opponents...eg. The punjab assembly gave Mohd Sarwar a PTI candidate who ran from shahbaz sharif rule to the PTI more than ten extra votes as they did nine to the PPP candidate...In the PTI home base of KP the PTI lost a senator after around 10 PTI mpa's sold their votes says imran khan...In sindh the mqm mpa's ran counter to almost three decades of politics and voted the PPP at least 2 or three extra senators...In balochistan PMLn dissidents had already toppled the PMLn government and now the dissidents have six senators amongst whom is one supposedly PPP supporter...should the SC take suomoto as the parties dont want to eject from the assemblies mpa's who did not vote for party candidates...This is a strange situation..!PTI claims that it won over angry PMLn legislators but this seems tobe a doubtful claim having no real validity...many suggest that the mpa's could have been placed undercover by the PPP and PTI...!The ECP which theoretically calls foul should act and cancel the senate elections...The SC took a minor route and says it will look for dual nationals and throw them out of the senate...There are at least four senators elect of the PMLn who supposedly have dual nationalities and claim that they have given up their foreign nationality..Both mohd sarwar and zubair gul are said to have feted and funded Nawaz Sharif in London...Now sarwar has won and zubair lost...many say he might have annoyed hamza shabaz who recently spent several months in england by refusing to pay for his hair plugs..!The JI may have got a KP senate seat for a vote for the PTI candidate in punjab...it does seem that the PTI and MQM both hardup after a grueling five years may have bought and sold mpa's...!And one must not forget Fata where two mna's did not vote and a group of six got elected their fathers and brothers...! the PMln seems to have suffered several blows...losing their balochistan seats as well as one in punjab...The PPP gained two seats in sindh and two in KP where they have just five votes...that is dhandli by any count...the ECP and the SC should take a stand..never have senate elections in all provinces been dhandli prone...!
