PTI suspects Rafiq Rajwana may try to sway results favourable to PML-N, wants him removed

PTI wants the ECP to send Punjab Governor Muhammed Rafique Rajwana packing because it believes that not doing so may lead to the results swaying in PML-N's favour.

In a letter to Chief Election Commissioner retired Justice Sardar Muhammad Raza, PTI leader Babar Awan has demanded for Rajwana's immediate removal.

The letter regarding Rajwana’s removal says: “I want to bring your attention to an important issue that the Punjab governor and his family members have a close affiliation with the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and, therefore, the issue is creating an imbalance in election process in Punjab.”

The letter stated that the ECP was duty bound to keep an eye on those who could influence the elections and provide an atmosphere acceptable to all parties and candidates.
