ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz has decided to challenge NA-249 Karachi by-polls results. PML-N’s Muhammad Zubair, questioned how it was that amid a low voter turnout counting was taking so long.
“Until we get the Form 45s, we will not budge from here,” he said, adding: “The people have voted in favour of PML-N. The results must now be declared.”
He claimed that the party’s candidate (Miftah Ismail) and their lawyer were not being allowed into the DRO’s office.
Zubair added that the party’s polling agent “was not given the Form 45 of two polling stations” — polling stations 260 and 261.
“Both presiding officers locked up the station and left,” he claimed, adding that the phone of the presiding officer from polling station 260 “has been turned off”.
