ISLAMABAD: The ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf notched up the top score in the Senate election Wednesday with 18 seats followed by PPP’s eight.
Despite emerging as the largest party in the Upper House, the PTI suffered a defeat at the hands of PDM’s Yusuf Raza Gilani who managed to get the Islamabad general seat from PTI’s Hafeez Sheikh. Gilani’s victory was a shocker for the PTI government, forcing PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari to triumphantly tweet: “Democracy is the best revenge. Jeya Bhutto!”
Gilani got 169 votes against Sheikh’s 164. Seven votes were rejected. Votes were counted twice - second time at the request of government legislators.
