NA-118: LHC rejects petition seeking recount of votes
A single-member bench of the high court rejected the plea, which was filed by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) MNA Muhammad Riaz Malik, saying that the court cannot interfere in election tribunal's matters.
In the petition, Malik had said that 211 bags of votes found for NA-118 constituency should be counted as well.
In the May 11 general elections last year, Malik had won the seat receiving 103,346 votes while runner-up Hamid Zaman from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf had received 43,616 votes.

@Jacob: Public support for what? Motorway and Metro? Do people tend to forget the fact that Nawaz came to power in 90s for the first time, he was seen in print media and PTV at a floody street during monsoon, walking in muddy waters trying to establish an image that he cared about public but look at the recent clips even after 25 years, same long boots and Mian braderaan in the streets full of flood, Did you get my point? I need to learn this skill; killing public and getting their support at the same time!!!!!
There should be a re count in 118 .There has been massive fraud and rigging in the constituency 118
@Naeem Khan: Its not ur mistake, every one can understand why u people lack wisdom.
@pakpatriot: I say you are full of it' How naïve you people get to be. Just pathetic
@Fatima: To the contrary PTI won through rigging. PMLN doesn't need to engage in rigging because of overwhelming public support
Without understanding the news, i can tell (since it a decision of LHC) it was a decision to help hide election rigging.
There is no law in this country. If gullu butt can be released then what worse can one expect. There are retired judges sitting in ECP with business interests in government and some family members holding lucrative positions without merit. Naturally every case against ECP decision will be decided by ECP itself after all where will the next retired lot get adjusted.
If this guy has won, why is he seeking re-count, it should be the way around ?
@Lolz: Where you see I am in support of corruption or anything wrong. I am against the attack on institutions, today Parliment tomorrow JHQ and then k labortary...!! Only if khan was sincere to this country he should have brung electoral reforms in parliment for 99.99% free N fair elections not voilance in country N devastation of our economy .see dollar from 98 to 103.5 N calculate increment in foreign debts as a result.. No politician damaged this country in 60 yrs what this man is doing. N twice this Paroch khan has attacked people with elbows,, so tell him it is only his dream to become prime minister of Pakistan.,, because you think we are neach and inferior.. we will show what inferior people can do..!!
@pakpatriot: We all are innocent people, I would like to ask just one thing from you, COULDN'T THE SOIL OF PUNJAB PRODUCE JUST ANOTHER LEADER BUT NAWAZ SHAREEF IN THREE DECADES? WE ALL KNOW THE FERTILE LANDS OF PUNJAB BUT COULDN'T YOU HAVE JUST ANOTHER FAMILY BUT SHAREEF KHANDAAN IN 30 YEARS? This is the point to think about before exposing London Plans and all other things. And you also need to inquire the taxes paid in other countries by this family and the total taxes paid in Pakistan. Moreover, I challenge you to kindly go and knock at 29,000 Kanal Jati Umra gate after 10 at night to seek help, you will be kicked out even before the entrance because common citizens like you and myself stink with sweat and dust on the streets of the city. Accept the reality even if you fear a carnivore animal, the lion..because in the end you are human being and not an animal :-) Lolz
@Saad: @Fatima: Dear innocent people of Pakistan, There can be two beneficiaries of this rigging one in power or another who want to create anarchy unrest and discontinuation of democracy Process N progress of Pakistan. Identifying rigging is not enough identifying who was behind to derail democratic process by creating reasoning for Imran khan N Qadri drama is important..,, London Plan was planned 4 years earlier..!!
Expected outcome in favor of PML N . Keep it up our independent judiciary and election commission .
What's all this drama, everyone knows the PML-N candidate won the seat by rigging
I dont understand this news. What does it mean, will there be a recount? Or did he file a petition against recount?
