The victor bagged more than 60,500 while his opponent got around 53,470 votes.
Another hiccup on the same day for the party’s stalwarts was when they learned that their Vice President Maryam Nawaz had contracted covid-19.
PML-N Spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb took to her Twitter account and confirmed that Maryam Nawaz returned positive. The vice-president has quarantined herself, she added.

On Sunday, the results of the AJK elections sprung a surprise for PML-N and it could only win 6 seats which ended its government in the region.
After successive blows, the opponents of the political party are commenting that the anti-establishment rhetoric of PML-N Supremo Nawaz Sharif is no more saleable and the masses have started rejecting it.
