After Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) failed to get enough votes and lost to Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) in NA-154 by-elections in Lodhran on Monday, party chairman Imran Khan tried to console his supporters and vowed to come back stronger.

Khan took to Twitter to comfort the dejected party members and supporters over their loss and tried to boost them by saying that they will learn from their mistake and come back stronger. He further added, ''2018 election is ours [PTI's] InshaAllah.''

For all Insafians who are feeling dejected after NA154 result, every setback is an opportunity to analyse one's mistakes, correct them & come back stronger. Successful people, institutions & nations learn from their failures.

Those who get demoralised can never achieve their potential. In my decades of political struggle for Insaf I have never been demoralised but have come back stronger after confronting adversities. The 2018 election is ours inshaAllah. https://t.co/bwtQA90IWQ

PML-N's candidate Muhammad Iqbal Shah won the NA-154 by-elections in Lodhran from all polling stations, defeating PTI's candidate Ali Tareen, son of Jahangir Tareen, according to local media reports. However, there is no official report as to what margin the PTI candidate lost to.

In total, 10 candidates contested for the seat that fell vacant after Supreme Court disqualified PTI’s Jahangir last year in December.
