PPP’s Nayyar Hussain Bukhari has claimed that his party will lead the coalition government formed after the elections, adding that it will be led by party chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari.

Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Bukhari pinned the responsibility of conducting fair and free polls on the Election Commission of Pakistan, the caretaker governments, and law enforcement agencies.

“There should be no question mark over the election results,” he said. “It should be a result that is acceptable to the public,” he said.

He also alleged that 1,100 sanitary workers of the Capital Development Authority were not being allowed to cast their votes.

“According to election laws, government employees cast their vote wherever their duty is,” Bukhari said. “No arrangement has been made for them to exercise their right to vote,” he said.

The PPP leader urged the electoral watchdog to take notice of this.
