Election Commission of Pakistan has decided to probe the allegations of rigging levelled by Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan. According to, Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) spokesman, ECP will examine the record of a polling station of NA-68 constituency about which the PTI chief had stated that there were only 1, 500 registered voters in that but the number of polled votes was 8, 000.
The spokesman further said that ECP has written a letter to the returning officers to send the record of polled and registered voters so that the reality should be brought to the fore. The spokesman added that more than 100% turnout was not possible as the ballot papers are issued to any constituency according to the number of registered votes.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had won the seat from NA-68 constituency in Sargodha. Imran Khan had blamed that the polling was rigged in the constituency. The PTI chief has been demanding the thumb impression in four constituencies. He said election rigging complaints had not been addressed by election tribunals and an inquiry would only ensure that the next elections are not rigged.
