KARACHI: Jamaat Islami Karachi has demanded resignation from the election commission official alleging that the People’s Party has been provided fake victory in the city’s local council by elections. Ameer JI Karachi Munim Zafar Khan has claimed that 9,727 voters have been registered in Liaquatabad’s UC-7’s block comprising of 1,178 population.
“The want to impose fake people over Karachiites with fake practices,” JI leader said. “We will contest the election results in courts,” he said.
“We demand issuance of results according to Form-11,” he further said. He claimed that the Jamaat Islami has been defeated with rigging and said that a petition has been filed against results of Model Town UC-7 by election in the election commission. “We have Form 11 and 12 of all 10 seats,” JI leader said.
Earlier, Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) candidates for the recently conducted by-polls of local bodies in the city have moved the Election Commission of Pakistan against what they allege “pre-poll and post-poll rigging”. Ansarullah and Kamran Solangi — the JI candidates respectively from Union Council 7 of Model Town and UC 7 of Korangi — submitted forms 11 and 12 as well as other proofs of rigging to the ECP in Islamabad.
The petitioners alleged that the Pakistan Peoples Party government and the provincial election commission rigged the by-polls.
They said that according to their respective forms 11 and 12 duly signed by the relevant officials, they won the polls with a significant majority. However, form 13 and Annexure A issued by the returning officer showed the PPP candidates as successful. –Agencies
