He got 115,464 votes while Asif bagged116,957 votes. Interestingly, a number of votes were rejected in this areawhich proved destructive for Dar.

*Nisar Jutt*

Nisar Jutt was leading from NA-106 and was close to beat PML-N’s bigwig andformer Law Minister of Punjab Rana Sanaullah. Jutt got 103,799 votes whileRana could bag 106,319 votes.

She bagged 105,857 votes as compared to 122327votes of Khan. Although she lost but PTI is considering giving her a bigpost, CM-ship of Punjab is also under consideration.

*Aleem Khan*

The above mentioned constituencies are those which if won by PTI could havefurther worsened the defeat of PML-N. PTI has requested recounting in NA-73and NA-129. Factually speaking, even without these seats, PTI still hasconsiderable edge over its opponent and it is highly probable that it willform next federal government.
