Karachi: Jamaat-e-Islami has filed a petition in the Election Commission of Pakistan Islamabad against the worst rigging and mandate fraud in the November 14 by-elections allegedly with the collusion of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), the Sindh government and the Provincial Election Commission.
On behalf of Jamaat-e-Islami, the application was submitted to the Election Commission of Pakistan by UC7 TMC Model Town District Korangi Ansarullah and UC7 Ward 1 TMC Korangi District Kamran Solangi.
All the written evidence including form 11 and 12 have also been submitted to the Election Commission of Pakistan along with the application.
