The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Sindh president and former federal minister, Syed Ali Haider Zaidi, on Monday alleged that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) failed to hold free and fair local government elections in the Karachi and Hyderabad divisions.


He claimed that the elections that were held on Sunday were rigged, for which the ECP was directly responsible. Addressing a news conference, Zaidi said that throughout the elections day, news media showed several clips of rigging.

He was accompanied by PTI Karachi President Bilal Ghaffar and many PTI candidates of the local government elections. The PTI Sindh president maintained that it was his petition that forced the ECP to finally conduct the local government elections in the Karachi and Hyderabad divisions on January 15.

“The ECP says the elections went peacefully, but they were peacefully rigged elections,” the PTI leader said. He added that the PTI was a peaceful party that did not believe in violence. Zaidi stated that various Form 11 in the PTI’s possession, which are duly signed by the respective presiding officers, indicated that the PTI had won 70 UCs throughout Karachi. Until late Monday afternoon, PTI candidates had not received their results from the returning officers, he claimed.

He alleged that political engineering was taking place between the district commissioners and returning officers behind closed doors to manipulate the results. He remarked that PTI Chairman Imran Khan had rightly described the ECP as a B-Team of the Pakistan Democratic Movement. All the news channels showed rigging clips throughout the day but the ECP did nothing to stop rigging, he added.
