Pakistan: Imran Khan Seeks Vote Inquiry Pakistan: Imran Khan Seeks Vote Inquiry
(35 minutes later)
Imran Khan, the politician and former cricket star, gave a three-day ultimatum to the national election commission on Wednesday to look into his political party’s claims of vote-rigging in the contests for 25 parliamentary seats during last week’s general election. Mr. Khan warned that his party would start countrywide protests if the grievances were not addressed. Most of the accusations of voter fraud concern election districts in Lahore and Karachi. Election officials say re-polling of 43 election stations in a wealthy Karachi district will take place on Sunday. According to the latest official tally, the party of Nawaz Sharif, the presumptive prime minister, leads with 124 seats in the 272-seat assembly. The Pakistan Peoples Party, the former governing party, won 31 seats, while Mr. Khan’s party won 27. The counts for 11 seats have yet to be officially verified.
