Karachi (HRNW) PTI has challenged the victory of PPP’s Abdul Hakeem Baloch in the NA-237 by-election in the Sindh High Court (SHC).
The petition was filed by PTI leader Ali Zaidi via his lawyer Dr Shahab Imam and has named the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), the Sindh government and the winning candidate Baloch as the respondents.
The PTI has claimed in its petition that the “worst” kind of rigging was done in the by-polls, alleging the PPP workers polled fake votes. They also informed the court that they had complained to the ECP about the rigging.
The party has prayed to the court to investigate the rigging claims.
