The petitioners submitted that that the Pakistan People Party government and the provincial election commission rigged the by-polls.The two submitted their respective form 11 and 12 duly signed by the relevant officials, according to which they won the polls with a significant majority. However, form 13 and Anax A issued by the Returning Officer showed the PPP candidate as successful.The petitioners made the returning officers, the opponent candidates that were the unlawful beneficiaries and the ECP record keepers.Meanwhile, JI Karachi Ameer Monem Zafar demanded of the ECP to bound the provincial chapter of the commission from issuing the bogus final results.
