The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has alleged rigging and irregularities in the electoral contest between party chief Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) leader Ataullah Tarar.<\/p>\n

PPP senior leader Sherry Rehman claimed that the results of Lahore\u2019s constituency were manipulated, where party chief Bilawal lost polls to Tarar by a wide margin.<\/p>\n

As per the unofficial and unconfirmed results, Tarar secured 98,210 votes against PPP\u2019s Bilawal who came third with 15,005 votes in NA-127.<\/p>\n

Addressing a press conference in Lahore on Friday, Rehman said the results were changed abruptly while Bilawal was leading in the polls. She said the results were delayed to rig the elections.<\/p>\n

Rehman also lamented that mobile and internet services were suspended on the polling day which created difficulties for the voters and candidates during elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know very well what\u2019s the real intent behind closing mobile services,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Her statement comes as election results suffered from inordinate delay with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) also raising doubts over the transparency of the elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe independents have contacted us and they will join any party in the next 72 hours as per the Constitution,\u201d said the former finance minister while speaking to Geo News on Friday as the election results continue to pour in.<\/p>\n
