Ex-PM Khan wins big in Pakistan by-election - superadmin - 10-17-2022 ISLAMABAD: Former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan won six of eight national assembly seats he stood for in a weekend by-election, unofficial results showed on Monday (Oct 17), a vote he has called a referendum on his popularity. The by-election is the latest twist in months of political wrangling that began before Khan's April ouster via a no-confidence vote, and comes as the nation grapples with the aftermath of devastating monsoon floods that left a third of the country under water. "He defeats many", trumpeted the front-page banner headline on the Daily Times newspaper, echoing the tone of local media coverage which called it a personal victory for the former international cricket star. - More -
