The Elections Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has established 143 polling stations out of which 119 were declared very sensitive.

Local sources said a tough competition is expected between Chairman PTI Imran Khan and PDM backed candidate.

On the other hand, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan has appealed to the residents of Kurram to vote for him in the NA-45 by-elections.

The PTI chief urged the people of Kurram to vote for him in the by-polls. “You have to vote for me. Vote for PTI. The PDM is a pack of thieves. Sixty percent of them are on bail,” he said in a message.

Imran Khan said he was supposed to hold a political gathering in the area but couldn’t come due to the long march. “I have started the march towards Islamabad. Due to the Haqiqi Azadi march, I couldn’t come to you,” he said.
