Meher Bano Qureshi, who was contesting from NA-151 as a PTI-affiliated candidate, has said she would approach a court against the polling results in her Multan constituency.

In a post on X, Meher, daughter of senior PTI leader Shah Mahmood Qureshi, said she reached the returning officer’s (RO) office to request a recounting of the votes but neither the RO nor anyone else to receive the request was present there.

“This is my constitutional and legal right for which I have come here with a petition but the RO sahib is not present to fulfil his constitutional duties,” she added.
