ECP has issued a statement dismissing the PML-N's claim that their polling agents were kicked out of polling stations.

The Punjab election commissioner has strongly rejected such allegations and has said that political leaders should refrain from issuing such serious allegations without any evidence.

The Lahore DRO, Rawalpindi DRO, and regional election commissioner have also strongly rejected the claims.

The ECP says that, according to election rules, at the time the ballot papers are counted, only one candidate or polling agent from each party is allowed to be present.
