Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) Chairperson Mustafa Kamal claimed that the election’s transparency will stand exposed after a recount on the seats won by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) Faisal Vawda and Aamir Liaquat in Karachi. Faisal Vawda won NA-249 seat against Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif after reportedly getting 35,344 votes while PTI’s Aamir Liaquat won NA-245 after defeating Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) leader Dr Farooq Sattar with a total of 56,615 votes. “I have never such a tainted election in my life. Results came instantly from Dera Bugti and areas bordering Afghanistan but Karachi’s result came after two days,” he told the media. Kamal said that the ‘over-represented’ mandate would not help PTI Chairman Imran Khan run his government smoothly. “There is a joke that a suicide bomber in a letter to his commander said that he went past heaven due to the excess of explosives. Same happened here, such was the excess committed in the election results that Imran went past heaven,” he commented. Published in Daily Times, July 30th 2018.
