Please explain to me why there was a byelection on this seat? MK Junejo lied under oath so the next in line should have automatically bewn declared the rightful winner. Instead the EC allowed the Junejos to allow another likely, fake degree holder to contest the election! We need.to not give liars and.frauds continuous opportunities to try to cheat the system again and again and again!!!

Please explain to me why there was a by-election on this seat. After finding that MK Junejo had lied about his degree under oath, should Jam not have been automatically declared the rightful winner for this seat? Instead the EC allowed another potential "liar" to contest, thereby giving the PPP another chance to try to help one of their candidates win the election. We need to punish those that perjure instead of giving them opportunity after opportunity!
