ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) leader Khawaja Saad Rafique on Sunday alleged that his constituency NA-131 was divided into parts for  Imran Khan’s victory in the elections. Addressing to the press conference, the former minister said that the Election Commission of Pakistan( ECP) did not follow the basic principles.He alleged that the ECP played biased role in the General Election 2018. Khawaja Saad said that nearly all political outfits had grave concerns pertaining to rigging in general elections. He said that he had requested the chief election commissioner (CEC) to increase number of polling stations while adding that many stalwarts returned without casting vote owing to extreme weather conditions. The PML-N leader said that if PTI Chairperson Imran Khan hadn’t won by rigging the election, then why is he afraid of a recount. He said the election commission should order a recount of all ballot papers in the constituency. "I asked for all the votes to be recounted but the returning officer only agreed to recount the ballot papers that had been rejected," said the PML-N leader.
