According to Ms Benazir, the PPP will win 150 NA seats in the Jan 8 elections. This magic "150" figure has also been confidently claimed by both Mian Nawaz Sharif for PML (N) and Ch ShujaatHussain for PML (Q). The grand total of 450 NA seats claimed by the three leaders exceeds by a cool 178 the 272 NA seats being contested. Given that MQM, MMA (represented by JUI (F) and three other religious parties), ANP, the 8 or 9 political parties- in Balochistan which usually win 1 or 2 seats each and independents all over the country will manage 50-55 seats between them, leaving a maximum of about 220 seats between the three major parties, that makes less then half being claimed by them.
