“I give up this seat,” announced Naeem and added that “independent candidate Saif Bari won in a genuine manner, whose votes were reduced to 11,000 from 31,000\u201d.<\/p>\n

He also claimed that he had won more than 30,000 votes but as per Form 47 issued by the electoral watchdog, he won 26,000 votes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“After the protest against the forged result, the ECP corrected my vote count to 30,000;” added Naeem.<\/p>\n

He further clarified that despite bagging 30,000 votes, the PTI-backed candidate won the seat with a higher number of votes.<\/p>\n

The JI leader accepted that the PTI-backed independent candidate won\u00a0the seat, stating that the party would also acknowledge the mandate of MQM-P if they win honestly.<\/p>\n

However, he criticised the MQM-P and said their stance never favoured the party in winning seats and they could “not even win the counselor’s seat with such poor reputation”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
