PTI leader Gohar Khan has said there was an “apparent attempt to shape the winning seats of the PTI into defeats”.

Speaking to the media, he said people used their right to vote peacefully on February 8 on ex-premier Imran Khan’s call.

He said it was the ECP’s “constitutional and legal responsibility” to declare polling results by 2am the next day and to explain the reasons if there was a delay.

Stating that the ECP’s “last responsibility was to compile the results in a transparent manner”, Gohar said that according to the law, the contesting candidate, an election agent and an authorised observer needed to be present during the compilation process.
