The ruling PTI suffered a shocking defeat in the last week’s by-polls where a PML-N candidate won the election.
Federal Minister for Defence Pervaiz Khattak has alleged that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has helped the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) to steal the public mandate.
Addressing as chief guest at the final match of a cricket tournament at Pahari Katikhel here, he claimed that the PTI candidate had won the by-election.
Khattak said that the ECP had helped the PML-N to steal the public mandate, claiming that he has all the “proofs”.
He said that federal ministers Shibli Faraz and Murad Saeed would speak at a press conference in Islamabad today (Monday) along with Mian Mohammad Umar Kakakhel, MNA Dr Imran Khattak, and a panel of lawyers to share all the details with the media.
