Speaking to the media at a rally organised by the PTI in Islamabad, party leader Khurram Sher Zaman lamented the “day light robbery” in Karachi during the Feb 8 polls.

He decried that seats were “handed out” to the MQM-P. He noted that when the PTI formed its government in 2018, Karachi had played the biggest role in this regard.

He said according to the Form 45, the PTI had won 19 National Assembly seats in Karachi. He said that the Jamaat-i-Islami had garnered the second highest number of votes according to the Form 45.
