Supporters of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) shared videos where they claimed that widespread rigging was going on while releasing the election results.

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) claimed that the Pakistan Army participated in electoral fraud during the counting of the results on Friday. The PTI claimed that the Pakistan army participated in widespread rigging as results trickled in. “We have video evidence of rigging shown on camera. Despite our loss of bat symbol, Imran Khan backed candidates won majorly,” a PTI member familiar with the developments told news agency CNN-News18.

The aforementioned person questioned the turnaround from the initial trends seen late Thursday night and said that this signals that the Pakistan Army does not want them to win. “Till last night we were winning majorly now this turnaround suggests (that the) army (is desperate). It doesn’t want us (to win),” the person said.

Meanwhile, Nawaz Sharif’s Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) (PML-N) is headed to be the single largest party but it is unlikely to get the magical number of 134. Earlier in the day, the PML-N supremo said he will deliver a victory speech from the party headquarters and his party is poised to form the government.

The only other party that has claimed that there were incidents of rigging in the elections is the former coalition partner of PML-N in the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) government, the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP).

PPP senior leader Sherry Rehman on Friday claimed that election results of Lahore’s constituency were manipulated, where party chief Bilawal Bhutto Zardari lost polls to Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s (PML-N) Attaullah Tarar.
