PTI leader Khurrum Sher Zaman has vowed to “not move an inch without taking back” his NA-241 seat, from where he lost to the PPP’s Mirza Ikhtiar Baig.

In a post on X, he claimed he had won by a margin of “nearly 60,000” votes — basing his claim on the Forms-45 — but the election commission “shows PPP won with my votes reduced”.

“All the ECP needs to do is check all the Form 45s of various candidates where seats are disputed and notify the rightful victor. This ain’t rocket science,” he said in another post.
