Earlier in the day, PML-N MNA and PTI senior leaders visited the election tribunal. Talking to media Tareen said, "I am hopeful about my victory." Baloch contested as an Independent candidate and won the elections with 86,177 votes, while PTI candidate bagged 75,955 votes. Later, the winning candidate joined PML-N. Tareen rejected the election result and filed an application with the Election Commission of Pakistan for recounting of votes. The Lodhran district returning officer conducted the recounting after which Baloch got 1,000 more votes. Tareen, dissatisfied with the recounting, rejected the result and filed a petition in the election tribunal, alleging the election was rigged. The election tribunal reserved the judgement on the last hearing, held on August 22 and fixed August 26 (today) for announcing the verdict.
