ISLAMABAD – Pakistan Tehreek e Insaaf has expressed serious concerns overdelays in announcing election results of the constituencies, currentlybeing challenged at different levels.
Withholding results of almost 20 constituencies due to administrative orlegal reasons is extremely inappropriate, said a statement issued by PTIspokesperson Fawad Chaudhry. “Votes in 48 constituencies have already beenrecounted,” it added.
Delaying results could adversely affect transfer of power to the electedgovernment, it said, adding that any unlawful delay creating hurdles in theway of electoral and democratic process can prove very damaging.
The ruling party-in-waiting also urged the chief justice of Pakistan totake notice of the situation.
