Chairman of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has called on the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to take action against the alleged rigging and ensure free and fair elections.
Bilawal Bhutto, in a series of tweets on Sunday, said that the PTI has sunk to new depths in its attempts to rig local body elections. In DI Khan ANP candidate was assassinated a day before polling, members of his family accused PTI minister of first trying to bribe him and then killing him.
Meanwhile, in Peshawar PTI supporters were caught red handed stamping ballot papers the night before polling. All day there have been reports of PTI ransacking polling stations attacking polling staff including women, he added.
Bilwal said that this is what a desperately unpopular government looks like and they are resorting to violence and rigging to try and undermine the people’s choice.
PPP Chairman further said that he appeals to the people of Pakhtunkhwa to not be deterred by PTI tactics. He asked PPP workers to report violations to party election cell or directly to ECP.
