Bilawal strongly refutes accusations of rigging in elections

KARACHI, Feb 24 (SABAH): In the aftermath of the February 8 elections, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has strongly refuted accusations of rigging, asserting that political parties are using such claims for blackmail, a tactic that the PPP will not succumb to.

Addressing the media after extending condolences to the family of a 12-year-old party worker killed during electioneering in New Karachi on Saturday, Bilawal questioned the legitimacy of rigging allegations. He challenged political parties to specify the seats allegedly rigged, asking, “Was my Larkana seat rigged?”

Bilawal highlighted PPP’s claim to victory in two provincial seats, PS-124 and PS-125 in Karachi, based on Form-45. However, he alleged that these seats were unfairly given to other candidates through rigging. “We will fight a legal battle with evidence. If justice is not served, we will announce the next course of action,” he declared.
