PML-N's Khwaja Saad Rafique has challenged Imran Khan's NA-131 victory in a petition submitted to Returning Officer Muhammad Akhtar Bhango.

The former federal minister claims that the presiding officer deliberately rejected many votes in NA-131.

"The votes should be counted again. The results should not be issued until recounting of the rejected votes is complete." — Khwaja Saad Rafique

N-leagues strategy was to not stamp of tickets properly through their corrupt polling officers. This way the plan was to reject those votes where people voted for PTI. I observed this myself in the polling booth I went. Now that Saad Rafique is mentioning this it clears why the officer was not stamping tickets properly.
