2/3rd Majority

During the ongoing PANAMA hearings by the SC,  many a stalwart of the PML (N) leadership has hinted at going to the Awami Court who they claim had returned MNS with 2/3 majority.  Just to be sure, I dug up some of the old newspapers and found the following:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Party Total votes bagged (May 12, 1 pm)
PML-N 9,781,703
PTI 3,633,060
PPP 3,381,223
MQM 2,108,360
PML-Q 834,572
PML-F 610,906
JUI-F 278,636
JI 91,668

 

The total number of the registered voters for the 2013 election was  86,194,802

 

Thus PML (N) polled  9,781,703  / 86,194,802  X 100 = 11.35 per cent  which is not even simple 51% majority what to talk of 2/3rd majority. It is as simple as that out of 86,194,802 registered voters a very hefty number of  76,413,099 voters did not vote for it.

 

Do they have any moral justification of going to them for the final decision?
