KARACHI: Pakistan Peoples Party chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has said the results of the first and second phases of local government elections in Punjab are being changed in the name of recounting by the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz.

In a meeting with Punjab PPP president Mian Manzoor Watoo, who called on him at Bilawal House on Tuesday, Mr Bilawal-Bhutto announced that he would visit Punjab after the LG polls to strengthen the party.

“The PPP will start preparations for the coming general elections from Punjab,” he added.

Earlier, Mr Watoo apprised the PPP chairman of ‘rigging’ by the PML-N during the two phases of the LG polls in Punjab.
