The result for NA-129 Lahore-VII was stopped by the returning officer (RO) after PTI's Abdul Aleem Khan requested a recount in the constituency, claiming that his polling agents were not allowed inside during counting and were not provided copies of Forms 44 and 45.

The RO has summoned PML-N's Ayaz Sadiq, who won the constituency with 103,021 votes against Khan's 94,879 according to preliminary results, at 10am tomorrow.
