FAISALABAD: The Returning Officer on Friday ordered to recount votes for the NA-108 constituency after PML-N leader Abid Sher Ali challenged the election result after he lost to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) candidate Farrukh Habib.

While talking to Daily Times earlier today, Abid said that he has submitted an application for recounting and has a hearing scheduled at 2:30 PM.

PTI candidate Farrukh Habib has managed to bag 112740 votes leaving behind PML-N candidate Abid Sher Ali at 111529 votes, the difference between the two candidates is merely 1211 votes.
