The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has declared the date for re-polling across various polling stations
The electoral administration body has mandated re-polling in three constituencies and has requested a detailed investigation report from NA-242 Karachi.
Following reported irregularities across various constituencies during the nationwide polls on February 8, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) issued directives for re-polling at specific polling stations on Saturday.
Having navigated through the intricate phases of conducting the nationwide elections on February 8, the electoral authority is now on the brink of unveiling the final vote results, with the compilation process having been underway for over 48 hours.
The commission received complaints from various regions of the country regarding the snatching and destruction of voting materials in certain polling stations, leading to the postponement of the voting process by local election officials.
In a recent directive, the top electoral authority announced re-polling in multiple polling stations scheduled for February 15. The results from these polling stations will be disclosed following the completion of the re-polling process.
The constituencies and the number of polling stations where re-polling was ordered are detailed below:
- NA-88 Khushab-II — Punjab Re-polling will take place in 26 polling stations due to the vandalism of voting materials by unruly individuals.
- PS-18 Ghotki-I — Sindh Re-polling is set for two polling stations in this constituency following the snatching of voting materials by unidentified individuals on February 8.
- PK-90 Kohat-I — Khyber Pakhtunkhwa The ECP mandated re-polling in 25 polling stations in this constituency due to the destruction of voting materials by terrorists on election day.
Simultaneously, the top electoral body instructed the regional election commissioner to submit a probe report within three days concerning complaints of vandalism at a polling station in NA-242 Karachi Keamari-I — Sindh.
Previously, several parties that held parliamentary roles in past governments raised concerns about the credibility of delayed results, despite assurances from the election commission regarding timely release.
Both the caretaker government and the top electoral authority dismissed allegations of intentional delay in compiling and releasing final results, emphasizing the rigorous procedures undertaken to ensure transparency.
