8-member group of lawyers formed to provide legal representation to Karachi candidates: Jibran Nasir

Human rights activist and election hopeful Jibran Nasir says an eight-member group of lawyers has been formed to provide legal representation to all candidates from Karachi who “assert proof of winning but have been adversely affected by rigging or manipulation”.

“We are united in our commitment to upholding the integrity of the vote and ensuring that the rights of Karachi’s voters are protected, and their mandates respected in accordance with the laws and constitution of Pakistan,” he writes on X.
