Also, Prime Minister Imran Khan asked PTI candidate of Daska NA-75 bye-election to seek re-polling in the 20 polling stations. “It is because we want transparency that we are seeking open ballot for Senate elections”, Prime Minister said in a tweet from his official handle.
The Prime Minister said even though there is no legal compulsion to do so before ECP announces results, PTI candidate of Daska NA-75 bye- election should ask for re-polling in the 20 polling stations.
“I have always struggled for fair and free elections”, Imran Khan said adding that opposition is crying hoarse over in the by-elections in this constituency.
He said it is because we want transparency that we are seeking open ballot for Senate elections.
Prime Minister’ statement comes a day after PML-N Vice-President Maryam Nawaz demanded the ECP to order re-election in entire NA-75 constituency and not only on 20 polling stations.
She had alleged that the PTI used several tactics to rig the by-poll including manipulating the election results of 20 polling stations by taking ECP officials hostage.
