LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) candidate Dr. Yasmin Rashid Sunday vowed that she would be approaching the courts against the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) over alleged registration of 29000 bogus votes in NA-120, Lahore.
“We have reservations against the election commission and will approach the court against them,” Rashid said while speaking to reporters here on Sunday. “I had said whether I win of lose, I will go against the ECP.”
Rashid referred to the 29000 votes registered in NA-120, which her party claims are “bogus and belong to areas outside of the constituency”, and has filed a petition in the ECP pertaining to it.
Alleging pre-poll rigging, the PTI nominee said “our fight has not ended. It will continue as long as the ECP does not become an independent institution”.
According to Rashid, the PTI would announce its next course of action during a news conference on Monday.
Thanking supporters, Rashid said during this by-election a new trend had been created for Pakistan.
