Shahbaz Sharif holds presser mid-vote count: 'We reject this result'

July 26, 2018 00:44

PML-N frontrunner Shahbaz Sharif is raising questions about the vote counting process at a press conference in Lahore.

"Until a little while ago, no official results of Lahore constituency were in," said Shahbaz. "From Rahim Yar Khan to the rest of Pakistan, we are getting complaints that we [PMLN polling agents] are not getting form 45 and that our people are being removed from polling stations."

"We reject this result," he said about the preliminary vote count.

According to unofficial, preliminary results received so far from 20 per cent polling stations, PTI is ahead on 105 National Assembly seats.

PML-N has the second highest number of seats at 71 while the PPP is so far ahead on 39 seats.
