Yousaf­zai wins by margin of over 20,000 votesPakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) candidate Shaukat Ali Yousufzai has won the re-polling in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) provincial seat in Shangla by a margin of 20,000 votes, Express News reported. According to reports, the votes cast in all 135 polling stations have been counted and based on the unconfirmed results the PTI candidate managed to bag 45,946 votes. Owing to poor turnout of women, the top poll body had cancelled the results of the July 25 elections in PK-23. Of the 86,698 women registered to vote only 3,505 women had cast their vote in the restive, mountainous yet conservative district of the province. This was less than the 10 per cent of the total votes polled in the constituency — 69,827, as mandated by the Elections Act 2017.
