PTI’s Ali Amin offers Fazlur Rehman a re-election or vote recounting in NA-38

Author: Agencies

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Ali Amin Gandapur on Saturday offered Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) president Maulana Fazlur Rehman a re-election or recounting of votes in NA-38, a constituency of Dera Ismail Khan-I.

Reportedly, in a statement issued by Gandapur, he suggested that Fazlur Rehman can inspect the election result either way.

“I will contest, even if Maulana makes his own arrangements,” he said, asserting that he had pledged to ‘bury’ Fazlur Rehman’s politics of wickedness and iniquity.

He further said that Maulana was well aware of the defeat margin for the second time, and so he would not re-contest.

“If he has enough guts, then he should face me in the field,” Gandapur said.

The defeats by ‘rookie’ candidates of PTI in both constituencies hit the cleric like a thunderbolt in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

He contested the general elections as a strong candidate of MMA.

Gandapur, the winner, secured 80,236 votes, whereas JUI-F president could get 45,457 votes only.
