Islamabad: The Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) on Sunday decided to challenge alleged rigging in general elections 2018 in Lahore High Court (LHC).
Party sources said that a legal committee, headed by former minister Zahid Hamid, has been formed on the directives of PML-N president Shehbaz Sharif.
A white paper will also be presented during a meeting with LHC chief justice on Monday. The PML-N has also claimed to have collected the proof of rigging in 38 constituencies. Earlier, LHC had barred the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) from issuing notification of the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan’s success in NA-131 Lahore.
Announcing reserved verdict on PML-N leader’s plea, LHC ordered to recount votes in NA-131 Lahore constituency where Imran Khan defeated PML-N leader Khawaja Saad Rafique on July 25 general election.
The PTI had taken the decisive lead by winning 116 seats against former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and former President Asif Zardari’s Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP).
