The chief election agent for Misbah Wajid, an independent candidate backed by the PTI, has said that his client won the elections from the PP-172 seat but attempts were being made to “alter the results”.

In a video statement on X, he said a request had been submitted by another candidate pertaining to a recount of votes.

However, he alleged that at 3:30am, guards stationed outside the Returning Officer’s (RO) office reported that unknown individuals had entered the building. He called this an “attempt to alter the results”, adding that none of them were allowed to enter the premises.

He urged the RO and the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) to address their concerns promptly and allow them to visit the location for transparency.

Separately, Hammad Azhar claimed that PML-N’s Rana Mashood had applied for a recount.
