Khan says his competition is with Nawaz Sharif, not Ayaz Sadiq

LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said on Wednesday that his campaign is all about exposing complicity of Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Returning Officers (ROs) and the caretaker government in distorting public mandate.

Addressing the media after arriving in Lahore today to campaign in NA-122, he said that his competition is with Nawaz Sharif, not Ayaz Sadiq, adding that the PML-N is petrified, which is why they ran away from NA-154 Lodhran by-elections.

Campaigning for PTI candidate Aleem Khan, Imran Khan went on to say that, “We will win in NA-122 despite of the fact that the umpires are from N-league.”

“Our people are prepared, they are aware of the numerous ways that rigging can be done in NA-122 and will stop it.”

He further said that there were 53,000 irregularities out of 184,000 votes in NA-122 and that these are not simply mistakes, but rigging on massive scale and a planned conspiracy.

“Big question is why the ECP has not moved to act against those responsible for the 53,000 irregularities; clearly because they were complicit.”

The PTI chief added that this is the same ECP that the Judicial Commission declared incompetent.
