PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif, noting alleged rigging in past polls, asked, “Which election is there where allegations of rigging were not made?”

Speaking to the media in Lahore, He appreciated the chief election commissioner on the Feb 8 polls.

He further said that on election night, on the basis of a mere 10-12 per cent of results, there was a declaration that independent were winning and parties were losing, which was “inappropriate”.

“On one hand there are allegations of rigging [but] then independents are winning and we are losing. This is contradictory,” he said.

“So please, elections have happened and it was proven that out of political parties, PML-N is the biggest party. If you count independents, then their number is obviously greater — but in political parties PML-N is number one,” he said.
