Pakistan’s polls body has asked polling officials to share the results of Thursday’s elections or get ready to face the music, as allegations of rigging intensify.
The Election Commission of Pakistan in a statement said it issued instructions to all the Provincial Election Commissioners and Returning Officers to declare all the results, stressing that strict action will be taken against them.
Similarly, PTI’s spokesperson Raoof Hasan also asked the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to make sure that results are not tampered with, otherwise “we will not accept the results.”
Polling closed at 5 pm (1200GMT) on Thursday and the delay in the announcement of the results has intensified apprehensions of rigging.
