I am not so sure about KP. The thing is that ANP has been very unpopular in KP this time around. People have come to see them in the PPP mold. PML-N is worried that their vote bank might be split and the dengue brothers are panicking.

Before his 30th october rally political analysts were of the opinion that Imran won't be able to get his supporters to move their asses from their sofas and chairs and come to his rally. They did. If he can translate the support from the urban areas of Punjab into actual votes I reckon he can easily get 25 to 30 seats.

Also the fact that Imran's popularity in KP has soared after his flood relief efforts where the ANP govt was not able to do much and received a lot of flak as well. So he might expect a few seats there too and if he plays his cards right he can get more than a handful of seats.

In Sindh he would have a hard time. Baluchistan already has very few seats in parliament and those too are usually taken by their tribal leaders belonging to one of PPP or PML.

Thirdly there are some independents like Jehangir Tareen who are well entrenched in their areas and they might now opt for Imran. Not too sure.

In the coming 6 months Imran will have to conduct a few more rallies in different parts of pakistan to see where he stands. I do agree that currently Imran stands of becoming a strong opposition leader in parliament although PM in 2013 looks difficult.
