So THAT'S why he lost

This has got to be the best excuse for losing an election. From Leader (Karachi):

CANDIDATE BLAMES 'LOTA' FOR LOSING ELECTION

A candidate in the elections from NA constituency 79, Chaudhry Mohammed Naveed Iqbal from Samundri Tehsil in Faisalabad who lost in the elections, has said that he was defeated because his election symbol was a 'lota.'

He has urged upon the Pakistan Election Commission to remove the election symbol of 'Lota' from the list of election symbols that are given to the political parties and independents in the general elections. This is the first time that a defeated candidate has blamed his election symbol for his defeat. 'Lota' is used in day-to-day conversation in Pakistan to refer to turncoats.
