PML-N’s Khawaja Asif has recalled alleged irregularities during the 2018 general elections, claiming that the votes were counted after making the candidates’ polling agents leave the stations.

In a post on X, Asif said, “In the 2018 elections, we were handed results on a white paper without signatures instead of Form-45s. Our polling agents were made to leave before the vote-counting.”

He claimed he had “sent the results on the white paper without signatures” to former army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa but his “response was only verbal consolation”.
