Jubilation was everywhere around the symbolic Lal Haveli, the residence of Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, as early results show him victorious against Shakeel Awan of the PML-N in NA-55 Rawalpindi.

Hundreds of supports gathered outside the Awami Muslim League leader to celebrate his historic winning.

Enthusiastic supporters were dancing, singing and driving motorcycles. Fireworks added to the festivities of his supporters.

Rashid lost the NA-55 constituency to Shakeel Awan in the 2008 general elections. He is now making an amazing comeback with an active support from the Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaaf.

The PML-N camp were by comparison very despondent. The PML-N stalwarts faced a similar situation to what Sheikh Rashid supporters went through during the last elections.

Sheikh Rashid just tweeted that he was leading with 15000 votes.

He is going to address to his excited followers in a while.
