Federal Minister for Science and Technology, Chaudhry Fawad Hussain on Tuesday said the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) had again shifted its stance from re-polling in 20 polling stations to re-polling in the whole constituency.
“PML-N raised objection over polling in the 20 polling stations in the by-elections and demanded re-polls on which we agreed but now it has changed its stance and demanding re-election in the whole constituency, making the elections disputed”, he said.
The minister was talking to the media outside Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) along with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders including Usman Dar, Farrukh Habib and the party candidate Ali Asjad Malhi. He said legally, ECP was not authorized to hold the results after compilation.—APP
