LAHORE: NADRA on Friday submitted its report on NA-118  voter verification to the election tribunal, Express News reported.

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?
