While speaking at a press conference in Islamabad, PTI leader Omar Ayub Khan termed the rigging against his party “the mother of all rigging”, adding that PTI “rejects this in the strongest possible terms”.

He alleged that the 70,000 vote lead that Rawalpindi Election Commissioner Liaquat Ali Chattha spoke about yesterday belonged to PTI, and demanded that PTI candidates be notified about the original results..

“I also want to point out that 18-19 of our seats in Karachi were stolen by MQM-P. Rigging took place the same way Chattha admitted yesterday,” he said.

“We demand that this process be reversed,” he said.
