PPP & PMLN nowhere in tribal areas elections to KP assembly! Guess the Maryam-Bilawal narrative had no traction there. Remember when these parties supporting drone killings of locals only IK and PTI raised their voice against drones and took action also? Local people remember!

Both the parties were supporting drone killings of locals-only IK and PTI raised their voice against drones and took action also, she continued in her tweet.

It may be noted, according to unofficial and unconfirmed results, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) took lead by securing five seats in the landmark elections for the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the merged tribal districts.

As per unofficial results published by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), independent candidates won six of the 16 general seats, while Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) grabbed three seats, Awami National Party (ANP) and Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) clinched one seat each.
