Earlier, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) had directed returning officers to hold re-elections at 43 polling stations of NA-250 Karachi on May 19.
“On May 11, elections were free but not fair. Our workers were kidnapped before elections and released after polling ended,” claimed MWM Secretary General, Allama Amin Shaheedi.
Earlier, Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) had request the ECP to conduct re-polling in the entire constituency of NA-250 Karachi. After the ECP rejected the plea and maintained its decision to hold re-elections in selected polling stations of NA-250 on Friday, MQM decided to boycott the re-polling.
