“Seats in the Senate elections were publicly auctioned,” said PML-N senior leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, who leads the opposition in the National Assembly.
The Election Commission of Pakistan should cancel the results of those Senate seats where it finds use of black money, allegedly floated by politicians for buying votes, Nisar urged. “The election commissioner has full powers to withhold or cancel results in light of the 20th amendment.”
Such “bad fish” should be expelled from Parliament, he said, adding that only “clean” politicians should be allowed.

@FactCheck: Hey, your comment suits your cool nick name!
If it was publicly auctioned, PML-N should have bid. You cannot complain about public auction where every one can bid, can you?
Were foreign countries allowed to bid? It would have brouhgt in some FDI!
Out manoevured again? You must be kidding me! PML(N) has won 8 seats which is double the number of MQM seats! Please get your facts right!
PML N again out manoeuvred. Its Hilarious it has the same no. of seats as MQM lol...
Nisar demanded "The Election Commission of Pakistan should cancel the results of those Senate seats where it finds use of black money". Does it mean he has no problem using clean money to buy the seats? First PML-N did not want the senate elections then it is crying for not winning more seats. If I win the elections are fair if you win they are unfair.
Think before thou speaketh, Sirjee. How will the speaker complete the quorum if only ""clean" politicians were allowed in? Lol.
@Aftab kenneth Wilson: I agree. I have met few of ex-PMLN campaigners who used to hand out money for buying votes.
PML(n) started this trend in the first place.
He is insane. can he answer about PPP loss (Gill) in Punjab? He will say this is democracy, huh.
Is this a country?
Mr. Nisar Chowdhury, please give proof! Thanks!
What he is lamenting is that the PPP has more funds to do buying than N league.
There are specific seats in Balochistan, FATA and KPK, and it is history and fact, if somebody denies it he is in fools paradise.
Publicly auctioned? If you had said "auctioned", people might have heeded your nonsense. Public auction is going too far, as no one has seen it happening. Reminds us of "angoor khhatte hain"
