Imran Khan claims local body elections marred by electoral rigging
The PPP has emerged as the major gainer in the second round of local bodies elections in Sindh, as it grabbed the most number of seats in Karachi and secured a thumping majority in the Hyderabad division.
The PTI chief however took the ruling party to task, saying that instead of holding transparent elections, “it uses force, blackmail, police harassment and money to get votes”.
After getting reports on the latest LG elections in Sindh it is apparent that the PPP has no commitment to fair & free elections. Instead it uses force, blackmail, police harassment, money to get votes. Now also clear why the ECP, Cabal of Crooks & their handlers sabotaged EVMs.

EVMs allow for transparency & immediate results so prevent rigging – engineering of results. Right now results of LG elections which shd have come out within a few hours at most, were coming out in a staggering delay some for days, allowing for massive foul play.

If this is the sort of elections ECP, the State & PDM want then the stability that elections are meant to bring will not happen. Instead such manipulated elections will only cause more agitation, polarisation & anarchy.
