Vote inspection report: Be patient, NA speaker’s son tells Imran

LAHORE: The scion of the National Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq advised Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan on Tuesday to wait for a report regarding the inspection of NA-122 constituency votes. The report is to be submitted before the tribunal by the Election Commission. Addressing a news conference here, Dr Ali Ayaz Sadiq said, “If Imran has any objections, he should move the tribunal”. He questioned if Imran wanted to influence the court. Dr Ali said the commission rejected the votes not signed and stamped by the presiding officers. He said 800 such votes of Sardar Ayaz Sadiq and 935 votes of Imran Khan were rejected, and it was a reason Sadiq’s lead increased by 135 votes.
