The PTI with its single seat victory in Sindh is acting just like the ANP with its two seat victory did in the 2008 general elections. It thinks it has conquered the entire political turf in Karachi. The MQM was and is the strongest party in Karachi but it lacks self-confidence. It is reacting to PTI provocation in the same way it reacted to the ANP provocation five years ago. So, folks, there ain't gonna be change in the political scenario, which in turn means Karachi's problems might remain unsolved.

When I enquired of the young voters in my apartment building at what time they planned to go to the polling station, they said not before eleven. I told them they had better leave early or they would be standing for hours in long queues. So, all of us left at 9 am. I am a veteran voter and 9 am is my usual time to go to the polling station. By 10 am at the latest I return home having done my duty. Last Saturday, however, by the time I cast my vote it was exactly twelve minutes to six pm.
