SANGHAR, June 27: Pakistan Muslim League-Functional (PML-F) candidate Jam Madad Ali was declared the winning candidate for the by-election on PS-81 held in the constituency on Wednesday, according to unofficial results.

The by-election had to be held after the PPP MPA-elect Muhammad Khan Junejo was disqualified for having a fake degree.

There were two contestants in the bypoll: PML-F’s Jam Madad Ali and PPP’s Asghar Ali Junaid Junejo.

According to unofficial results, Jam Madad Ali received 35,548 votes while his opponent received 34,175, giving the PML-F candidate a lead of 1,373 votes.

Out of the total 127,292 voters in the constituency, 72,833 people — 57.2 per cent — cast their votes with the turnout for men being 40,464 while 32,369 women came out to vote.—BoC

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!
