He alleged that the rival PML-N was backed by the federal and provincial governments, a claim which is often repeated by PTI in the run-up to the by-polls.
The PTI chief also thanked all party workers, especially women who worked tirelessly in the election campaign. He had earlier urged voters to come out and vote, as voting was necessary to decide the future course of the nation and the coming generations.

Alleging towards pre-poll rigging, the PTI candidate in the by-election vowed that she would approach the courts against the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) over the alleged registration of 29,000 bogus votes in the NA-120 constituency. She said, “Our fight has not ended and it will continue as long as the ECP does not become an independent institution.”
Earlier, he said NA-120 will “decide the future course of our nation & our coming generations.”
