PPP Parliamentarian spokesperson and MNA Shazi Marri has expressed concerns over delay in GB election results.
In a press statement, Shazia Marri claimed that unusual delay in Gilgit-Baltistan election results is raising doubts. She said that delaying tactics in providing Form 45 were unacceptable which was an attempt to make the election process controversial.
Shazia Marri said that alterations in voter lists and changes in polling stations ahead of election day indicated that federal government had planned rigging.
PPP Spokesperson said that the relocation of the polling station in the Bunji area of Astore II to a hilly location away from the roadside was an attack on the right of voters to vote.
She said that thousands of voters, including women, faced difficulties in finding polling information and polling stations.
“We will not allow any attempt to alter the election results or rob the public mandate to succeed”, Shazia Marri asserted. “All tactics that make the electoral process controversial will be defeated with the power of the people”, Shazia Marri said.
She demanded that the Election Commission should fulfill its constitutional responsibility and immediately release transparent results. Shazia Marri said holding of free, fair and transparent elections under Article 218 is the constitutional responsibility of the Election Commission. Marri claimed that the mandate of the people of Gilgit-Baltistan will be secured at all costs.
