He said that whatever he did in his tenure as the governor is in front of the nation.

He said that he has never seen an election similar to the recent one before, adding, the elections were held in a manner to make one party win the General Election 2018.

Zubair added that from Peshawar to Karachi, the vote counting could not be managed.

He further stated that despite the ban by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) for taking phones in the polling both, there were video clips that showed otherwise.

“All the political parties were made aware of the system,” he said. “All the parties aired their reservations,” added Zubair.
