Despite a predictable victory on the cards, the PTI fans celebrated with great zeal when National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser announced that the PTI chief has received 176 votes while his opponent Shehbaz Sharif bagged only 96 votes.
From doing pushups to displaying the banners depicting their hero, workers and fans didn’t restrain themselves from expressing their emotions. Sweets and cakes were distributed on the occasion.
