Almost a year ago, the election tribunal had ordered the recounting of votes in this very constituency -- from which Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) MNA Nawab Wassan had earlier been declared the winner.
Shah, the former president of the Sindh chapter of the PML-N, had challenged the results and had expressed reservations over the voting pattern and subsequent counting of ballot papers.
After reviewing evidence and statements by witnesses, the election tribunal decided to recount votes cast on election day last year. The tribunal had also ordered the National Database and Registration Authority to verify the votes.

Every election excluding 1971 election, was rigged in some way or other. Agencies, political parties, Police and administrative staff have been involved in rigging. IK should focus on fixing the election system, not wasting time proving this election was fraud. Dear IK! Pls Focus on how to prevent it happening next time, how to get biometric system in place, how to stop agencies, Police and other election staff from interference and how to control political parties' arm wings who control election booths.
@Punjab:
There's a difference between 1 seat and 272. It's 271 seats, in case you were still wondering.
If elections in 215 were rigged then shouldn't election commission declare the result null and void and order re-election?
@Gulzar: Hard work or new game off federal government to make him happy as he and others are forming forward block in the Nora league
Now thats funny. Confuse PMLN supporters dont know if they want to celebrate this moment of truth or should be sad because it proves IK was so damm right that PPP had it fixed in Sind like PLMN had it fixed in Punjab.
Most respected and loved personality of Khairpur Sain Ghous Ali Shah. He's won this election with lots of hard work and genuine love for the people! We wish him well.
