I was going through election day coverage of different TV channels of May 11th 2013. Few points:
Most channels had declared Jahangir Tareen winner in NA154. Dunya news slide said Tareen 72000 Baloch 41000 now that's 30000 lead. Baloch was declared winner in morning doubling his votes whilst Tareen was stuck on 72000.
Kamran Shahid said results of NA 122 and 125 were compiled but RO is not declaring the winners. Note both Khan and Hamid Khan were leading till 80% of live count.
Similarly they were saying results of Pindi and Attock were stopped with pti leading both Attock seats.
Another point was that till 10pm almost all analysts including Malik were giving N 90 seats and Pti 45 to 50. What happened after 10.30 that results were put on hold and then N went from 90 to 120 and pti from projected 50 to 30.
What was the game here? Because N was emerging single largest party anyway.
