Barrister Gohar Khan has alleged that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) is hatching a conspiracy against his party by accepting pleas to recount votes in constituencies where PTI candidates won.

“Recounting can’t be done after the consolidation of results,” he said while speaking to the media in Islamabad today. “Only pleas against PTI are being accepted.”

Barrister Gohar accused the electoral watchdog of conspiring to change the victories of PTI candidates into losses through the recounting process.
