Jamaat-i-Islami Karachi chief Hafiz Naeemur Rehman, while addressing a press conference, said that the party would challenge the results of the seats “it had won” but was handed a defeat after the Form 47 was released.

“Those we lost, we will not claim to have won those,” he said.

“Those who have won, even if they are our opponents, we will say let those who won win and let those who lost lose,” he said.

“What is this fraud being done with the nation? If you wanted to give handwritten results then what was the point of holding elections?” he asked.
