The report disclosed that no record was found for 50,000 votes, while 25,000 votes were unverified and 4,000 were bogus votes. However 15,000 votes were verified, the report said.
The election tribunal had earlier asked NADRA to carry out thumb print verification of votes in NA-118 Lahore. Malik Riaz of PML-N had received 103, 346 votes in NA-118.
On Friday, the Lahore High Court adjourned the hearing regarding voter verification in NA-118. The election tribunal will now take a decision on the matter.
After May 11 elections, an application was filed by Hamid Zaman, the PTI candidate who was adjudged to have finished as runner-up to PML-N candidate Malik Riaz at the constituency. The tribunal ruled that the petitioner must pay the cost of the rechecking.

And few some ask that why PTI calls for rechecking.
Nearly 80% votes could not be verified for one reason or another and the cost of the exercise is 'to be paid by the petitioner'. Shouldn't the RO and his staff or EC pay for it and be sent to jail also?
@Umar:
It was Najam Sethi who controlled all the postings and guess what, he ended up changing all the whole bureaucratic cadre upon the insistence of a certain Kaptaan khan. I'll be happy to share those picture of cordiality and harmony between IK and Najam Sethi when IK laid his Farmaishi Program and Sethi duly obliged.
so they checked only pml(n) votes :P ...... whats about checking all the votes ???
@Adnan Siddiqi, can you read? Only 15,000 votes were verified. There rest are all suspicious. BTW, why is there "no record" of 50,000 votes? Who controlled all the postings in Punjab at that time?
@Adnan Siddiqi:
Basic math for you...
no record = 50,000 votes unverified = 25,000 votes bogus = 4,000 votes
Total disputed votes = 79,000Even one 1 bogus vote should be good enough as a sign of corruption and miss handling.
@Adnan Siddiqi Do you maths sir! Its a matter of "no record was found for 50,000 votes, while 25,000 votes were unverified and 4,000 were bogus votes" therefore, 79,000 votes were unverified and null and void. only 15,000 were correct.
PTI has been right all along. If Sharifs cannot win in their base, how is it possible for them to sweep the majority in elections. Time to throw the wicked anti-poor government out. PTI and Pakistan Zindabad!
ET,
Its written as 103,346. Not as 1,03346
They thought ball tempering or ballot box tempering is same.They are confused why didn't they got the same result. Man it's no cricket.
So PTI agents got involved in tempring ballot boxes after all it's their basic art. Seriously Pti walas are going to fall in their own trap.
Aight then, take out the 4K bogus votes and the PML-N guy still end up being way up their on the top. Please y'all, get a life!
