KARACHI: The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has responded to allegations made by a senior official of the Pakistan bureaucracy regarding rigging in the general election results.
PPP senior leader Faisal Kareem demanded a probe into the allegations made by Rawalpindi Division Commissioner Liaqat Ali Chattah.
Chattah’s revelation has shed light on several issues regarding election results, which had already been rejected by several political parties, including Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), Grand Democratic Alliance, and others.
Additionally, Faisal mentioned that he is gathering information regarding the elections. It is worth noting that earlier today, Commissioner Rawalpindi confessed to manipulating election results on 13 seats in the division, which include Rawalpindi, Attock, Chakwal, and Jhelum districts.
With Chattha’s admission of guilt regarding electoral fraud in Rawalpindi, the PTI spokesperson argued that Sikandar Sultan Raja lacks both legal and moral grounds to retain the position of chief election commissioner.
Calling for immediate resignations from all implicated officials, including the CEC and CJP Qazi Faez Isa, the spokesperson underscored the urgency of rectifying the situation.
Furthermore, the spokesperson urged for the expeditious return of the PTI’s allegedly stolen 86 seats through a recount of votes as per Form 45.
Amidst mounting evidence of widespread electoral fraud, the PTI spokesperson insisted on holding all involved perpetrators accountable under constitutional and legal frameworks.
