KARACHI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Friday rejected NA-249 by-election unofficial and unconfirmed results, ARY News reported.
The polls were rigged with the alleged help of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and Sindh police, said Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Karachi chapter leader MPA, Khurram Sher Zaman.
ECP utterly failed to conduct transparent by-polls in Karachi and played a partial role during the process, the PTI leader accused.
Zaman said Pakistan People’s Party and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz were not campaigning for the by-polls and the survey was showing PTI is going to win.
But all of a sudden Pakistan People’s Party won the seat.
